A peek into my summer! My happy place is with my family and we miraculously had all 4 of my kids, their spouses, and my now 6 grandkids at Holden Beach for a week! ❤️ The newest kid on the block was 5 weeks and oldest grandchild is 8 years old. Pictures of all the guys, all the girls, me and my dietitian daughter, (we are collaborating on a program together- stay tuned), and more fun in the sun. Hubbie and I were off duty in the kitchen, the kids took turn cooking m, and they are much better cooks than me. So delicious!😋

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 These are healthy pancakes made with pancake mix from Step One foods. They don’t look very pretty 😂, but the taste is pretty good. They are formulated specifically to be “food as medicine”. Step one products have been clinically studied and shown to lower levels of harmful cholesterol. (Not all cholesterol is harmful by the way, cholesterol is very important and necessary!)

Happy Easter!🐣 Family fun times! On the menu for 14 —-
✅ Ham, sourdough, bread, honeydew, melon, cantaloupe, scalloped potatoes, green beans, deviled eggs, applesauce and freshly picked strawberries with whipped cream
✅ Deviled eggs, there are always a few bad eggs that are not easy to peel. Have never figured out the trick…for the most part they behaved!
✅ 12 pound ham but look at the garbage ingredients in the glaze that came with the ham. I made my own from good old Betty Crocker cookbook. 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 4 tablespoons pineapple juice and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Super easy.
✅ Made not one but 2 loaves of sourdough bread. Fitting for Easter.. brought the sourdough starter back to life !
✅ scalloped potatoes with my moms classic cheese sauce— 1 cup milk, 3 tablespoons flour and shake it like crazy. Then cook and stir until it is thick but don’t stop stirring, or it will scald on the bottom. Then add cheddar cheese and pour over potatoes.
✅ Sometimes I add a can of cream of mushroom. I added a great brand that is not full of junk!
✅ Easter baskets for the 5 grandkiddos. 🩵🩵🩷🩷🩷 I purposely looked for but main gift was they all got a super soaker water gun 🔫!
✅ And the Easter egg hunt is always fun, they each have one color to look for but fun to watch them help each other !
✅. ….. and interesting observation, I went to church and then came home and prepared food, hid a few Easter eggs and went on a 10 minute walk and I hit 10,000 steps!

Made my mom’s Lemon Meringue Pie today! Her recipe is the best ever!!!!!
✅ She was a great cook! Made everything from
“scratch” …. what we used to say…
✅ The crust was homemade too. I did an almond flour crust so low carb and gluten free
✅ I tend to play with ingredients all the time to “healthify” a recipe. But I did not change the filling or meringue. Added the sugar where it called for sugar. 😊
✅ The filling is made with sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, lemon juice and lemon rind. It is a workout, a LOT OF STIRRING as it cooks and thickens
✅ I started out as nursing major. Did one year of clinical rotation in the hospital and decided to change majors… had to back up and take 4 more chemistry classes to switch majors, whew!
✅ Fortunately, I love chemistry. Lots of chemistry in cooking. Lots of stirring to prevent scalding as cornstarch thickens, not one speck of egg yolk can be in the egg whites when making meringue or it will not peak, ..cream of tartar makes meringue, … egg yolks have to be added super slow to filling. ….
✅ I ate a piece and it was delish!
✅ And making this pie PROVES what .pollan has said —- such wise words—“you can eat whatever you want, you just have to make it”
✅ It has been 2 years since I made this pie! So much time and work!
✅ Think about it —-you can have potato chips, but you have to make them. You can have ice cream, but you have to make it. You can have a Snickers candy bar, but you have to make it, melt the chocolate make the caramel , crush the peanuts…. There would be a big change in our food choices if we followed this one statement!
✅ Always nice to open up my notebook and see my mom’s handwriting. Recognize it still today. ❤️

Got a bag of samples today! What is it? Mineral powder of potassium =700 mg and magnesium=100 mg. It is aimed to help people with high blood pressure but…. MOST of us don’t get enough potassium anyway so it can help all of us!
✅ Potassium is an unsung hero. Sodium and potassium dance together 💃 🕺
✅ There is too much focus on lowering sodium when we just need more potassium.
✅ If you are under stress you likely need more sodium too, just high quality (not table salt)!
✅ Potassium helps transmit signals to nerves
✅ Potassium is needed for muscles, the thyroid, the gut, skin….
✅ Low potassium intake can cause fatigue, dry, flaky skin, irritation, or slow wound healing
✅ Potassium is found in fruits and veggies but we need a lot.
✅ Sometimes mineral drinks can help boost intake.
✅ is a mineral powder = 400 mg
✅ Product pictured is from piperbio.com =700 mg
✅ 1 cup coconut water = 600 mg
✅ 1 medium potato= 610 mg
✅ Curious how much potassium you consume everyday?

Getting these teams tournament ready for this weekend! 🏐🏐🏐 These elite volleyball players travel and have multiple volleyball matches all weekend. I am helping them learn sports nutrition strategies on what to eat and how much to eat between matches. They might have only 10 minutes between matches to refuel, or one hour, —-or as much as 3 hours——- so it gets tricky!! 🤷🏻‍♀️

does such a great job helping their athletes! Good luck in Baltimore this weekend!

Thankful I started over again!! First attempt at homemade sourdough bread was a big fail. Dough looked like dried out playdough! This was second attempt and it was very satisfying!!! 😄👍 ! I have not tasted it yet because I keep reading different instructions on how long to let it cool!
Thoughts about this…..
✅My mom always said, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!” ♥️
✅ It was quite messy to make!
✅ I usually eat gluten free but did not make this with gluten free products. The process of making sourdough breaks down the gluten. But I still would not suggest to someone with celiac disease !
✅ Water has to be filtered, read if it has chlorine in it it will not rise.
✅ I don’t think it saved any money. You have to preheat Dutch oven in a 500 degree oven for 45 minutes and then cooked for 40 mi it’s at 485 degrees 🥵
✅ Everything I read said to use a scale not measure in cups. But I tried to measure in cups the first time anyway. Sooooooo. …. I broke down and bought a food scale on Amazon
✅ I have never owned a food scale and have never encouraged anyone to buy one because I don’t think weighing out food leads to a healthy relationship with food. It is too big of a “food rule” that I have seen some clients adopt
✅ But apparently when it comes to baking bread the food scale does the trick!
✅Pretty cool to see nature at work to make this. It is only flour, water and salt!
✅ If you read ingredients in store bought sourdough it is way more than 3 ingredients..
✅ in the making of sourdough it creates a probiotic called lactobacillus reuteri that is amazing for health.
✅ The flour was organic which means the wheat when it was growing was not sprayed with glyphosate 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮…… which you will find in store bought bread that is not organic. Crazy!

My first homemade sourdough bread venture! I was pretty excited watching it grow! Named it Rosie!! It is now in the fridge on its last step. But I don’t think it looks quite right at this stage. Time will tell ⏰

So here is a little insight into how I got started with
“food art”…!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 I saw some Santa strawberries and thought it looked so easy (2nd picture was my goal) ….
✅ First picture was reality!
✅ Looked like a Santa strawberry disaster!😱

Triangle Nutrition Therapy

We help women who are exhausted, foggy, and frustrated, break free from struggling with Hashimoto’s symptoms that continue despite numerous trips to the doctor and multiple medications. We teach you which nutritional components and protocols will help you finally feel like yourself again, optimize your medicines, and potentially allow you to ditch the medicine altogether. You can be fit, energized, focused, and in addition, achieve a healthy weight when you implement these key strategies.

We provide a functional and integrative approach to everything we do, always helping you find and treat the root causes, instead of treating the symptoms. We help prevent, improve or reverse other chronic medical conditions like diabetes, PCOS, hypertension, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, migraines, and female hormone dominated conditions like menopausal weight gain, PCOS, gestational diabetes, and endometriosis.

While we work with many women, we are happy to help male clients as well with similar chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and “Manopausal” weight gain.

In addition to helping patients reverse and treat many medical conditions, we are also very focused on fitness and sports nutrition. Triangle Nutrition Therapy has provided sports nutrition services for elite high school, college, and professional athletes from a Board Certified Sports Dietitian since 2007.
