Fiber: Not Sexy, but its Health Benefits are Undeniable

As a Registered Dietitian there are very few “nutrients” I like to talk about more than–fiber. While you may associate fiber with canisters of Metamucil, prunes, and the unsexy side effect of passing gas, there’s so much more to this humble substance.  And I think it’s due time that fiber be re...

The Best Healthy Fast-Casual Restaurants in Dallas

It dawned on me recently that I’ve talked a lot about meal prep, beating recipe boredom, and even my favorite resources for recipe inspiration. Yet, one thing I haven’t given enough attention to is eating out. Sure, the first few months of this year we were trapped in our houses and didn’t really gi...

We are smack dab in the middle of fall now, which means every where you turn you are surrounded by pumpkin spice this, and apple-cranberry that!  If you are fan of fall foods like I am, then I’d encourage you to take advantage of what the season has to offer. The benefit of eating seasonally is...

Gain Inspiration in the Kitchen

As a Dietitian my mission in simple: Help others to eat foods that promote healthy bodies and minds. Time and time again, I hear people say “eating healthy is boring” or ‘vegetables taste bland.” I cringe a little bit inside, every time I hear those words, yet, I get it. For the longest time eating ...

Stressed? Depressed? Feeling Anxious? Eat these 5 Nutrients to Boost your Mood!

Is it just me or is anyone feeling bit stressed out after witnessing last weeks debates? No matter what side you support and/or don’t support, that was all around a shit-show (excuse my language). Between COVID, the economy, racial issues, and now an election looming ahead there seems to be plenty o...

Meal Prep Made Easy 
It’s September which means school is back in session, summer vacation is officially over (did anyone actually have one?), and we all are trying to get back into a new rhythm of life. Even though I won’t be taking kids to school or homeschooling for that matter (thank you, Lord), I can still embrace ...

2020 is not over yet..
But I’m really over wearing this mask and treating everyone like they have the plague. You too? After 6 months of this, I still haven’t gotten use to these COVID ‘courtesies’ and I’m really hoping, no praying, that we all don’t have to do this much longer.


What I’ve noticed about 2020 that is differe...

Pain: a Great Teacher (If we allow it)

Pain: a Great Teacher (If we allow it)
They say ‘time heals everything’ but as of lately I’ve been questioning whether this is true or not. In my experience, the passage of time has made certain painful memories fade–as far as details like when it happened, where it happened, who was there, what words may have been exchanged, and so fort...

Stop Settling & Start Living
Writing is cathartic for me yet I don’t put my pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard, shall I say) as often as I’d like because I’m afraid of what other people will think. This blog feels a bit vulnerable at times and this post feels no different. I’ve realized at 34 years old, fear has played a larg...
