📣WORKSHOP ALERT!📣

✨Join me for a virtual workshop on Tuesday April 14th for parents or caregivers who are looking for support on how to navigate picky eating. Can’t make it live? Each participant will have access to the recording to watch whenever it works for you!

✨During this workshop we will focus on how to reduce stress at mealtimes. My goal is to help you enjoy eating with your family and feel confident feeding your kids. I will give you tips and strategies to help create an eating environment that embraces curiosity and brings connection rather than being a time filled with frustration and second guessing how you are handling it all. I will discuss how to raise intuitive eaters and how to help your child cultivate a healthy relationship with food. We will also talk about how to handle sweets and ways to ensure your child is getting the nutrients they need to grow and thrive.

✨As a Registered Dieitian and mom of 3, I truly understand how challenging meal times can be. You will walk away from this workshop with strategies you can implement right away to transform your family’s mealtime experience.

This workshop is $20/person. Link to register is in my bio. DM with any questions ❤️

A few years ago I got a letter in the mail. It reminded me that 6 years prior I had consented to be a part of a research study while getting blood work done during my first pregnancy. The researchers had finally received funding to run the samples and turns out “they found something” with mine. I learned that I have a genetic mutation called PALB2. This mutation puts me at greater risk for certain cancers including breast, ovarian and pancreatic. Over the last couple of years I’ve gone for MRI’s and mammograms every few months. Based on family history and a few other factors, my team and I decided it would be best to have a preventative double mastectomy. So that is my next step on Oct 20th.

Feeling a lot of things- grateful to have the information and the ability to make this decision. Knowledge is power and after spending over a decade as an oncology dietitian, I truly understand how important early detection can be. Anxious about what the recovery will be like. Thankful I was able to breastfeed my 3 babies. Worried about how my kids will adjust to me being out of commission for a bit. Excited to be able to run with a bit more comfort 🤣 Grateful to have the most amazing support network surrounding me. ✨

Not something I thought I would be dealing with at this point in my life, but so happy to be able to take the necessary steps to stay healthy ❤️

As we shift into back to school mode, it’s easy to feel like you aren’t doing enough. Or feel guilty because your kid’s lunches don’t look like the perfectly curated bento box ones you see all over social media.

But I want you to remember this:
What your kid’s lunches look like and what they eat or don’t eat at lunch, says nothing about you as a mom. We are all just doing the best that we can.

You’re an amazing mom even if:
You don’t cut your kid’s food into fun shapes
Your kids buy lunch most day of the week
Your kids only want to eat white bread
Your kids don’t eat the lunch you packed
You don’t include a hand written note
Nothing in the lunch is homemade

If you’re in this back to school season too, I see you and I’m on this journey with you ✨

This is your reminder to keep trying. And that exposure to new foods, even if your child is not eating the new foods, makes a huge impact over time. You never know when they will surprise you ✨

My littlest is just about to turn 3 and he has become pretty particular about food over the past year or so. This morning he was having one of his favorite breakfasts (a mini bagel with cream cheese, fruit and yogurt). I was sitting next to him enjoying avocado toast loaded with chia seeds and pepitas. Out of not where he asked “can I try that mama?” He hasn’t eaten avocado in nearly 6 months but it’s something he is exposed to on a regular basis. As he took a bite his eyes lit up and he immediately said “Yummmm!”

I asked him how it felt in his mouth. He said “mushy and crunchy and kind of like jelly”. He proceeded to eat almost the entire piece and laughed every time a pepita fell off saying “this is messy mama!” There was no pressure to try it. I stayed curious about his experience as an eater and asked him questions to get him to tune into what he was experiencing with his senses.

It can take 15-20 exposures of a new food for a child to learn to eat it. So many clients come to me and their kids are only eating a small list of their “preferred foods”. But oftentimes those are the only foods they are being offered. If we want our kids to be eating a bigger variety of foods, we have to keep serving it to them. I recommend serving 1-2 small pieces, along side some of those preferred foods as a great starting point.

If you’re in the thick of it navigating picky eating, I see you. Feeding our kids is hard work, even for a nutrition professional. You’re doing great ✨

So many women come to me wanting to lose weight. But when we take the emphasis off of the scale and really focus on taking care of their bodies with balanced nutrition, self compassion, and joyful movement, that is when the magic can really happen ✨

Here is another quick breakfast idea that will support your energy level and help keep you full throughout the morning:

✅ Greek yogurt (protein)
✅ Granola (fiber and carbs)
✅ Fresh fruit (fiber, carbs and phytonutrients)
✅ Pumpkin seeds (some extra protein, healthy fats and minerals)

Yogurt and granola are two things that can be surprisingly high in added sugars if you aren’t mindful of which ones you are choosing!

I often go with plain yogurt and add my own sweetness with fruit and a bit of honey but I love for a flavored yogurt that is still low in sugar and high in protein!

For store bought granola I like to pick one where the fiber + protein > added sugar. You can do this simple equation by looking at the nutrition facts label. I often use this when picking out things like granola bars and cereal too!

I was working with a client recently who felt like she was having a hard time mindlessly snacking with her kids, especially in the late afternoon before dinner was ready. She also often felt “out of control around sweets” after she got the kids to bed. As we were reflecting on her progress during a follow-up session the other day, she realized that these things were almost completely resolved.

✨The one thing she has been doing consistently?

➡️Eating a bigger, balanced breakfast that includes protein, fiber, and healthy fats.

Prior to this, she would often start her day with a cup of coffee or two. Maybe she would grab a banana as she ran out the door. Sometimes she would have a piece of toast or a bagel. However, with the addition of some protein, more fiber, and healthy fats, she is now promoting blood glucose control and has found that her morning food choices have a pretty big impact on how she feels and what her food choices look like the rest of the day.

✨And while it may seem like no big deal to add more balance to your breakfast, these small actions create habits so you can feel your best. Small habits can feel doable and when you stack them with other habits, you can see major changes without feeling deprived or like you have to do a complete overhaul.

✨I am always looking for ways to save time and energy when it comes to making balanced meals and snacks for my family. One of my go-to strategies is utilizing convenience foods. Often times people assume that convenience foods are “unhealthy” or that we should be making everything from scratch but that is definitely not the case. Don’t get me wrong there are some days I love spending lots of time in the kitchen with some good tunes playing (“OK Google play Girl from Ipanema on Spotify”), but during a busy week I often like to streamline things as much as possible.

✨Here are 3 convenience foods I keep in my kitchen as a Registered Dietitian and busy mom✨

1. My favorite bagged salad mix for a quick side dish or base for lunch. This salad mix from Whole Foods has been on my weekly shopping list lately. It’s a great mix of cabbage, kale, cauliflower, and lettuce. To make it a quick lunch for myself I add whatever protein option we have on hand (leftover chicken or salmon, canned chickpeas or hard boiled egg), some healthy fat (nuts, seeds or avocado) and a carb of some kind (pita chips, a piece of bread, leftover farro).

2. A store bought dip or spread. I love to add these to a grain bowl or use it to transform a somewhat boring meal of grilled chicken and veggies into something much more exciting and flavorful!

3. Rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy protein source for lunch or dinner.

➡️What are some convenience foods you like to keep on hand to make your week a little bit easier?

A breakfast idea that takes 5 minutes to make, will support your energy level, and help keep you full throughout the morning:

✅ sourdough bread (carbs)
✅ avocado (fat)
✅ sliced hard boiled egg (protein)
✅ chives and chive blossoms from the garden (flavor)

✨If you eat breakfast and feel hungry again in less than 2 hours, you’re likely missing a component. Check to see if you have a source of carbs, protein and fat. If not, what can you add to make your breakfast more complete? ✨

I love brainstorming with my clients to come up with balanced meal and snack ideas based on their preferences, health goals, and lifestyle.
