Plan your next party around learning to develop a healthy relationship…with food.

Yes, I'm a dietitian, but sometimes I feel like I am often looking up candy lists. Beginning with Halloween, and now Valentine’s Day, I always seek the latest candy list for families I work with and my own celiac son. There are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that the holiday treats you choose are in fact gluten free. Of course, I also have a few suggestions to avoid those sweets altogether (after all, I am a dietitian!)

How do you prepare to feed a crowd or host a holiday dinner? Recently the Guiding Stars Licensing Company asked me this important question. My answer? A road map for success (and a complete menu too!).

If you or a family member live with a severe allergy or celiac disease, then you know how the potential for cross contamination can rule your day. In my case, its celiac disease, which plagues my household and more importantly the lives of my husband and young son. Until you have made a simple sandwich for someone with celiac, and momentarily gotten confused thereby resulting in the need for 3 knives and two plates, you probably don’t know what I’m talking about. But, if you do, then these products I buy for keeping food safe when sharing a kitchen with company or travel companions are just what you need.

A summer barbecue is the best way to spend a long afternoon, with kids and adults alike enjoying lawn games and savoring the outdoors. Of course, along with the playing may be an extended afternoon of eating too, and sometimes not the best choices. In my latest post for Guiding Stars I highlight five nutrition “traps” that may be present at your next grill fest.

People frequently ask me for ideas of what to eat when they are short on time, bored with the “same old” or trying to excite their family with some new flavors. Here is a brief list of some ideas that have recently been top of mind…

The celebrating may be over and the guests have left, but the candy has stuck around. What to do with all that chocolate and other treats? I’ve got some ideas…

I recently had the opportunity to co-host a webinar for the Guiding Stars Licensing Company. This timely webinar, which examined how the media translates science for the public, helped participants understand how to critically popular articles as well as research journals. With tips for finding trustworthy information online and in print, this critical webinar helped empowered participants to read beyond the headlines.

At the heart of
the many ways I work with nutrition, however, is a simple philosophy
about our relationship with food. The starting point for the many
“spokes” of my work is a belief that we all have the power to reach
our nutrition goals when we are given the right tools. I believe in
balance, no gimmicks, no games and keeping it simple. Whether I am demystifying nutrition for a consumer or giving a client the tools to
achieve her wellness goals, I teach people how to make positive,
lasting change because I believe they can.
