EAT WELL
I strongly believe there is no ONE nutrition plan that works for everyone. There is so much confusion surrounding what we should be eating. When you’re feeling unsure if you should eat something or not, the question you need to ask yourself is:
“Is what I am eating a nutrient-dense, whole food?”
We will take a deeper dive into many of the topics that create food confusion. These will include:
Nutrient Density
Food Psychology and calming practices around food
Intuitive Eating Tips
Macro and Micronutrients
Nature’s Superfoods
Food combining
Making Vegetables the STAR
Gut health
What’s right for YOUR body (Paleo/Whole 30, low carb/keto, low fat, vegetarian/vegan, and macro counting)
Micronutrients
Dairy & Grains
And, of course, I will share some favorite healthy recipes!
Most importantly, know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to YOUR nutrition. We have different genes, different gene expression, different lifestyles, health issues, activity levels, and goals. All of these elements influence what an optimal approach might be, and these factors change over time. The only way to truly know what is best for you is experimentation. We will cover how to go about doing finding your optimal nutrition and offer you support and tips to make nutrition less overwhelming.
TRUTH: I STILL get overwhelmed by nutrition too, the constant evolution of science surrounding food, and I study this stuff. I get stressed and grab a cookie. Making ourselves aware of our habits is one step in moving closer to healthier eating. But a cookie now and then is what makes life more fun! We will find the balance between what nourishes your body, and what feeds your soul.
Baked Scallops
These baked scallops soak up the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture to add texture, but the real star is how they soak up the butter. It enhances the rich, creamy flavor and makes us fight over the last little round muscle. It’s a crazy easy dish, and pairs well with a salad or roasted vegetables, as you see here. Short on time on a weeknight? Give these baked scallops a try- I know you’ll love them!

Peaches & Pesto Pasta
Imagine the taste of pesto with some cold pasta and peaches, arugula and some creamy goat cheese, and BAM! You know this recipe will be a winner. Maybe someone else has done this one out there on the interwebs, but I feel like I really channeled Half Baked Harvest Tieghan because this recipe is that DELICIOUS. Hope you make it for dinner and I hope you like it like we did! It deserves a spot in the summer dinner rotation.
Balsamic and Rosemary Pork Tenderloin
It’s almost summer and we are here for grilling season. Balsamic and Rosemary are a delicious blend of on a tenderloin. A perfectly grilled tenderloin just can’t be beat in my book. Balsamic adds this caramelization around the edges that simply melt in your mouth.
