Your Forever

During this crazy, uncertain time in the world, I thought I would reach out to all of you and let you know I am going to get back to blogging again! Over the last year, my private practice, Your Forever Nutrition Counseling has grown. I have started accepting insurance and whew..... it has been busy. With Covid-19, I will have time to share more nutrition content with all of you via this medium and I am excited to get back at it! As a WELCOME BACK - I have a gift to share w

National Nutrition Month is upon us! As a Registered Dietitian, I am excited to have a WHOLE MONTH to celebrate healthy living. As you all know, I do not take a traditional "diet" approach to health and wellness. Rather, I place the focus on all the wonderfully delicious foods that we can ADD to our day rather than focussing on the denial and sacrifice of foods we deem as "bad." That being said, it is important to hit a balance in our lives and that is why I really like the

The holidays are a special time of the year. A time to enjoy family, friends and yes.... FOOD! Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to enjoy the holidays and still maintain some semblance of healthy eating. So here are my top ten tips for healthy eating during the holiday season: BE REALISTIC Avoid the all or nothing mentality of "I'll eat whatever I want now because I am starting a "diet" (I hate that word) in January. This mindset can lead us down a slippery slope

Finding QUICK, TASTY and HEALTHY foods at the grocery store does not have to be hard. Here are some of my recent FUN FINDS!

​​Wow! It certainly has been a long time since my last blog post! Lots of changes have happened at Your Forever Nutrition Counseling, starting with a new and improved website. Take a few minutes to poke around the site: My RECIPES are all in one place and can easily be downloaded, printed out or shared with a friend My NUTRITION PRACTICE CLIENT PACKAGES have been re-designed and payments can now be made online! I partnered up with Healthie, a telehealth platform for nutri

A recent client question regarding PROBIOTICS and PREBIOTICS spurred this blog. She was confused as to what all the hype surrounding these supplements was about and if they were something she needed to be concerned about. First things first – good for her for questioning the media and not falling prey to the commercialization of nutrition. One of the first steps toward good health is education. Hopefully that is where I can be of help. Our digestive system normally has wha

​Good morning and happy monday. Things have been very crazy around here lately with sports, work and an upcoming graduation. A rainy sunday yesterday led to cancelled games and allowed me to get some meal preparation done for the week. I have seen many variations of mexican meatloaf on various websites and decided to experiment with a version that my family would like. Having dinner done before the day starts takes a lot of pressure off the 5-8pm time frame in our house and

HEALTHY SNACKS FOR A WEEKEND OF SPORTING EVENTS Happy Spring! Although spring is being fickle here in New Hampshire, this weekend marks the start of baseball for my youngest son. Double headers on both weekend days! LOVE IT! Many of us find ourselves attending multiple games in a day with little time for regular meals. Properly fueling our young athletes (and ourselves) is essential for optimum performance on the field. Tournaments and multiple game events have become comm

Although it is 58 degrees and sunny today here in New Hampshire, I know there are several more brutal weeks of cold before REAL SPRING arrives. Plenty of chilly nights where this yummy, fiber-rich soup will fill you up and make your taste buds smile. FIBER is an often overlooked component of a healthy diet. Many times the focus is put on calories, protein and fat and we forget that fiber helps to keep the belly full and has also been linked with decrease risk of many chroni

​Long time, no chat…. Things have been crazy busy here at Your Forever Nutrition Counseling and I apologize for taking a bit of a break from this blog. Any how – I am back and have a DELICIOUS recipe to share with all of you. Last night, was one of those nights when I had nothing planned for dinner. A blizzard was on the horizon and I literally opened the cupboards and asked for a divine intervention for dinner! The gang loved it, so I thought I would share. It is kind
