Whether you live alone, have different tastes than other members of your family, or just tend to eat by yourself often, it might be helpful to have a collection of recipes for one. While I’m not opposed to cooking large quantities of food and freezing it, there’s a need to do some cooking for one from time to time. Here is a […] read more »
Today’s post is a Green Mountain oldie, but goodie, for our Martha Stewarts out there. It was originally published last summer by our chef. Sometimes, no matter how conscientiously you pick out your produce, you end up with something that just isn’t delicious. Twice this summer, I have carefully selected melons which were unblemished, seemed heavy and hollow, and […] read more »
Many people have a goal (or at least like the idea) of eating based on what food is in season. The benefits of selecting produce that is in season are: higher vitamin content of foods fresher foods more flavorful foods forced variety (over the long term) in the produce you eat finding multiple ways to prepare the same food price is […] read more »
As a dietitian, I find people commonly ask me for meal plans or menus. Often the assumption is that to eat well, one must sit down every week or month and plan out all their meals. I disagree. If you find it’s helpful to have an idea of what you are making for dinner most nights, try this method of […] read more »
On a day like today, with predictions of 95 degrees, the last thing anyone would want to do is get in the kitchen and start turning on stove burners and ovens. It’s probably common for most people to cook less in the summer and gravitate towards more cold foods, but you can’t live on salad alone this summer. If you […] read more »
Cooking for one can be a challenge, although cooking for a family is no walk in the park at times either. The reasons I hear people cite for not wanting to cook for one are: I hate cooking. I can’t find recipes that are small. I’m not motivated to make something just for me. I get sick of the things […] read more »
One of the many life-changing things I learned at Green Mountain (a place that people see as a weight loss retreat but is so much more than that) was to eat a satisfying and filling breakfast – one preferably consisting of 2-3 servings of carbohydrates and 1-2 proteins, depending on what works for you and your body. Life before Green […] read more »
In one of our regular nutrition classes last week at our pioneering program that some people call a weight loss camp for women (we call it much more than that), we were reviewing two foods that I’d love to see people eat more frequently, “beans and greens.” We also served a very popular chickpea recipe for lunch, created by our Head Chef […] read more »
Here at Green Mountain at Fox Run we love creating new vegetable recipes. A few weeks ago our Chef Mike Webb threw together a fantastic batch of roasted cauliflower. We had a tremendous amount of requests for the method he used, so here it is. This would also work well as an asparagus recipe, as that’s in season at the moment. In […] read more »
As a dietitian I am often asked, ”What is the best chocolate to eat?” I believe the goal in asking this question is to find out which type has the most antioxidants or might be lowest in sugar …. essentially it’s a nutrition question. But I wonder, is picking the most nutrient-dense chocolate, regardless of whether or not you like it, going […] read more »
