If you child is like mine, a staple of his diet includes cheese crackers. So this weekend I set to try out a recipe and make them from scratch. It was a hit! Not only did small child like the crackers, there were serious concerns that either myself or Mike was going to eat them all before small child had a chance to take them to school!!

Now that we are in the middle of cold and flu season, one of the things I hear people say is “I won’t get sick, I have been loading up on Vitamin C.” It is common knowledge that Vitamin C is important for the immune system but does it really help keep us from getting sick?

In my 20s when I wanted to lose weight I could increase my activity, cut a few desserts and the weight would just fall off. Now that I am a mom in my mid-30s with a slowing metabolism and crazy busy lifestyle, I actually have to use the tips I have been giving others for years (that I know work!!!)

  • Posted on April 29, 2018April 29, 2018

Green Beans are Sketchy

  • by Catherine Coccia Ph.D., R.D., LD/N
  • Posted on April 22, 2018April 22, 2018

The green beans in my garden are sketchy, ninja vegetables… Green beans grow on a bush or a vine – I have both types in my garden. Today we are discussing the bush green beans. They are the ones you should really look out for..

The Seedlings are Crawling

  • by Catherine Coccia Ph.D., R.D., LD/N
  • Posted on March 29, 2018March 29, 2018

Literally every day I am astounded by how different the garden looks and how much things have grown literally over night.

Again I am THAT mom (gardener?)…

Eggplants, Eggplants Everywhere!

  • by Catherine Coccia Ph.D., R.D., LD/N
  • Posted on March 22, 2018March 22, 2018

The eggplants in my garden have been a source of “gardening stress” for me since we moved into our new house. When we moved in the previous owner proudly showed me the flowing eggplant plants while proclaiming, “you will have fresh eggplants any day now!” So I excitedly waited for the eggplants to appear… I waited and waited and waited.

Happy Registered Dietitian Day to all of the amazing dietitians and future dietitians making a difference out there!!! Don’t forget to hug your favorite dietitian/ future dietitian today! My lettuce is trying hard to go to seed already with this hot weather… 🥵 but my tomatoes 🍅 are coming in strong! First attempt at Pavlova.  Topped it with homemade mocha whip cream, lemon curd, fresh fruit and some powdered sugar! Waking up this morning to some chocolate banana bread with espresso ganache icing… Since the weather will be AMAZING and cool this weekend - just throwing this up here! Golden, flaky, buttery deliciousness. Check out this croissant bread 🥐 I made over the weekend using the @sallysbakeblog recipe. So. Good. I may be a little late to the party but as I start to put together my Spring syllabi, I am also planning out my gardening and baking goals for 2023!! What is on your list? Baby tomatoes. Goals for 2023.
