How many times have you watched the clock strike 6 pm and asked yourself, “What the heck is for dinner tonight?” For those nights when you just don’t have the time or energy to whip up something from scratch, and you’re craving something better-for-you than takeout, grab a store-bought rotisserie chicken. But, wait, do you usually just […]

When it comes to cooking, sometimes it’s a seasoning or condiment that elevates a simple dish into a mouthwatering meal — one that makes diners say, “Wow!” One of my favorite additions to vegetables, eggs, fish and proteins, morning toast, and even popcorn (so, basically everything) is infused butter. Oh yeah, are you salivating yet? Infused butter is […]

If you’re a regular here at TFC then you know I love putting a flexible twist on traditional dishes to make them better for you, yet just as delicious! And, oh boy, is this spaghetti squash burrito bowl the perfect example of that. Offering up the same bold flavors of a perfectly seasoned burrito, it’s […]

This amazing chocolate chip cookie creation was sparked by a good friend, fellow Flexible Cheffer, and gracious host Michal. She hosted us for a lovely Saturday lunch a few weeks ago and served the most delicious 3-ingredient cookies for dessert (that, unbeknownst to me at the time, are a classic gluten-free cookie recipe).

Now, answer this question: What percentage of your daily food consumption came from vegetables? One way to make a radical shift in the way you eat is […]

If you haven’t jumped on board the cauliflower train yet, what the heck are you waiting for? I like to refer to cauliflower as the ‘chameleon vegetable’ since it’s so versatile. Just think about it: There’s cauliflower rice, pizza crust, mashed “potatoes”, buffalo “wings”, and the list goes on. With a little TLC, this veggie […]

Are you as addicted to tahini as I am? If you open up my fridge at any given moment, you’ll find at least one jar full. It’s definitely a staple in my house and never goes to waste. It’s the perfect dip (I love it with celery) or salad dressing. Plus, it’s also the base […]

During my recent trip to New York City, I spoke to Jenny McCarthy on her Sirius XM radio show. Yes, THE Jenny McCarthy! She was incredibly warm and welcoming — it was like chatting with an old friend. In our convo, Jenny shared her own struggles with getting her son to eat fresher foods and […]
