7 Ways to Enjoy Apples and Pears in Healthy Meals

August 4, 2020 By Cindy Silver

Apples and Pears

Is there anything nicer about late summer and fall than new-season apples and pears? I don't think so. Most people know that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. But, did you know that a pear a day can do the same? Apples and pears share a nutritional benefit called fiber which is especially important to digestive health, nutrient absorption, and appetite control.  In fact, if you eat a medium sized apple or pear, you'll consume 5-6 grams of fiber along with about 100 calories. Also, there are plant-based phytochemicals in apples and pears and research shows that they can protect us … [Read more...] about 7 Ways to Enjoy Apples and Pears in Healthy Meals

Take Small Steps for Lasting Changes with a Registered Dietitian

January 8, 2019 By Cindy Silver

Buddha Bowl chicken chickpeas veg

I’ve always felt that dietitians are invaluable health professionals. Of course I do, since I am a registered dietitian. Recently, I had a casual discussion with a chef friend and we hashed out why clients hire us and  how insurance plays a role. There are similarities because we both assist clients in a way that impacts the quality of their lives. My friend, however, is a personal chef so she doesn’t qualify for insurance reimbursement. Fortunately, I do. What are Small Steps? I think of small steps as just about anything that moves you in the positive direction of nutrition … [Read more...] about Take Small Steps for Lasting Changes with a Registered Dietitian

Tomatoes Check All the Boxes of Fresh, Delicious, and Convenient

September 4, 2018 By Cindy Silver

Tomatoes at Summer Market

Imagining meals without tomatoes is hard for me to do. Sometimes I add them to my breakfast with a sliced cucumber and dollop of hummus. Other times I add them to my lunch sandwich -- to make a tasty ELT. At dinner, tomatoes pop up in a side salad, sauce, soup, or just on my plate and ready-to-eat. I don't think I'm alone in counting on tomatoes to be there for me. Maybe you can relate. I've had quite a few grocery store checkout line chats and/or farmer's market chats with total strangers who share their 'tomato love stories' with me. See how many varieties you know here. Fresh and Delicious … [Read more...] about Tomatoes Check All the Boxes of Fresh, Delicious, and Convenient

I took a vacation to enjoy Mediterranean cuisine and culture! Every once in a long while, my husband and I take a fancy vacation during Spring Break.
