How to eat more greens before they go bad in your fridge!

Kale Pesto

1 bunch kale, green or red variety works best, roughly chopped
1 cup toasted walnuts
2 tsp Banana Pepper brine from Firefly Kitchens or 2 tsp lemon juice + ½ tsp sea salt
¼ cup olive oil

In a large food processor, process the kale leaves and stems until well-chopped. Add the walnuts, process until smooth.

Add brine or lemon juice + sea salt. Process to combine.

Keep the processor running on low speed, drizzle in the olive oil until you have a creamy texture.

Store pesto in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 days.

Use as a spread for toast, sandwiches, or wraps.
Toss with cooked pasta or spaghetti squash and add your favorite protein (eggs, smoked salmon, baked tofu, or grilled chicken) for a quick weeknight meal.

Why you should IGNORE the calorie counts on food labels. Do this instead!

Let 2026 be the year we stop fearing calories (a unit of energy) and start asking more from our nutrition labels!

The NEW New Year's Resolution or "why you SHOULDN'T care about calories during menopause." Sounds radical, I know, but hear me out.

Calories only tell us one facet of a food's overall nutrition. And it may not tell us the things we need to know as active midlife women. What foods will give us the protein and fiber we need to keep going? Is this food supporting our individual health goals? Are we looking to build muscle, strengthen bones, or come off of diabetic medications, and will this food help? There's so much more we need to know about our food's overall nutritional profile.

Let's be done with calorie counting in 2026!

Craving something sweet in the afternoon?

Try these Berry Snack Balls!

Excellent source of protein, fiber, antioxidants, and even iron if you're having crime-scene periods in perimenopause.

1 ¾ cup raw sunflower seeds
2 tsp ground cinnamon
¾ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp sea salt or light miso paste
¾ cup pitted dates, cut in half (not coated with oat flour)
1 TBSP unsweetened applesauce
1 TBSP maple syrup
½ cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
½ cup dried blueberries or cranberries

In a large food processor, chop the sunflower seeds into small pieces.

Add the spices, salt or miso, dates, applesauce, and maple syrup, and process until a dough-like mixture begins to form.

Add the cocoa powder and dried berries. Process until well combined. You may need to add 1-2 TBSP of water to create the dough-like texture.

Roll 1-TBSP-sized balls and place on a sheet pan in the freezer. Once frozen, store balls in the freezer or fridge for a quick, easy snack.

Bonus Pro Tip! In a small saucepan over low heat, melt ½ cup dark chocolate chips and 1 TBSP butter or coconut oil. Remove from heat. Toss individual balls in the melted chocolate until coated. Place chocolate balls on a tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 1-2 hours to firm the chocolate. Store balls in the freezer or fridge in an air-tight container or Ziplock bag.

Happy Holidays to my amazing followers, clients, and colleagues! I’m so grateful for your support, your comments, and the encouragement you’ve shared this year. As we settle into the season, I hope you’re surrounded by warmth, good food, and the people you love.

2025 has taught us so much, and I hope we carry those lessons into 2026—embracing self-acceptance, loving and caring for our bodies, and rejecting diet culture. Remember, you deserve to want more, not less.

Wishing you a joyful holiday,

Tired of leftovers? Try this hack!

Chili enchiladas

4 cups leftover chili, either vegetarian or meat-based
8 corn tortillas, slightly warm
2 cups of prepared Enchilada Sauce (recipe below, or buy a jar of sauce)
8 oz of aged cheddar or manchego cheese, grated
Chopped cilantro and green onions (optional)

Enchilada Sauce, inspired by Bad Manners, The Official Cookbook

2 1/4 cups vegetable broth
1/3 cup tomato paste
2 1/2 TBSP Taco Seasoning
2 tsp granulated garlic
4 TBSP dark chocolate chips 70% or higher

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir regularly to combine and prevent the chocolate from burning.

In an 8x8 baking pan, cover the bottom of the pan with a thin layer of sauce. Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of chili and 2 TBSP of cheese. Roll the tortilla and place it in the pan, open-side of the roll down.

Continue until all tortillas are stuffed and in the pan. Cover tortillas with 1 - 1 1/2 cups more sauce, until the tortillas look "well hydrated." Top with the remaining cheese. Cover and bake at 425°F for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, bake another 10 minutes to brown the cheese.
