Apparently, I have thoughts about cheese. 🧀 (Cheese sticks, in particular! 😆)

Thanks to Christina Manian, MENV, RDN for including me as one of three Registered Dietitians asked to weigh in on the healthiest cheese sticks at the grocery store. Pst, the “healthiest” choice isn’t just about the brand. There are a few things I recommend looking for on the nutrition label, especially for your heart health. ❤️

Curious which cheese stick made the cut (and what I look for)? Check out the full Real Simple article at: https://www.realsimple.com/healthiest-cheese-stick-according-to-registered-dietitians-12137052

It’s officially fall y’all! 🍂 If you’re doing a little fall refresh in your home or life, consider giving your kitchen a little love too so you can make the most of meal planning these next few months.

🍂 SWAP OUT SUMMER APPLIANCES — Maybe you put up your blender and bring out your crock pot.

🍂 REORGANIZE YOUR REFRIGERATOR — Toss expired/old items and position frequently used items so that they are more accessible.

🍂 PURGE YOUR PANTRY — Donate goods you haven’t used, especially those approaching their “Best By” date.

🍂 FIX UP YOUR FREEZER SPACE — Group like items and maybe even make an inventory list so you know what you’ve already purchased and don’t let it go to waste.

🍂 FLAG YOUR FAVE FALL RECIPES — Tastebuds tend to change with the seasons too, so be sure to save recipes that catch your eye so you can easy recall them when you’re ready to make your meal plan and grocery list for the week!

Whatever you feel up for tackling this fall, make sure it functions for YOU, your household and your lifestyle right now 🧡

Delicious Breakfast Sammies in a snap? I gotchu! The key to elevating something so simple into something you crave is using good quality ingredients, like Jones Dairy Farm protein-packed Canadian Bacon Slices. (I found mine at my local Publix Super Markets.)

For these Breakfast Sandwiches, I assembled an: English muffin + sliced cheese + Jones Dairy Farm Canadian Bacon + a baked egg bite (made with cottage cheese).

Having these prepped helps take one thing off my plate so my morning feels much more manageable!

Yeah, I coupon. (No scissors. No paper scraps everywhere.) And it saved me >$1,000 last year at Kroger alone. This doesn’t even factor in the Ibotta cash back I receive for stuff I was already going to buy! Are you really maximizing your grocery budget? Or is it getting the best you?

Introducing my ✨ Graza Grinder Sub ✨ She’s got a crunchy slaw made with Graza’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil mayo (containing zero seed oils) that is savory, tangy and seriously satisfying.

Sushi at home can be intimidating, but not when you’re using Ocean's Halo Organic XL Seaweed Snacks! 🍣 These super-sized seaweed sheets make it super simple to layer up all your favorite sushi ingredients and roll them up for a quick Sushi Burrito in just minutes. In fact, this is our new go-to way to enjoy sushi at home!

We LOVED the Thai Sweet Chili sheets — found at Whole Foods Market — for extra umami and spicy flavor! They also come in classic Sea Salt & Avocado Oil.

This has got to be the *perfect* meal prep for hot summer days as most of the ingredients are no-cook! In this simple Greek Salad Meal Prep recipe I layered:
• Canned chickpeas, drained
• Red onion, diced
• Red bell pepper, diced
• Baby cucumbers, diced
• Cherry tomatoes, halved
• Feta cheese
• Tricolor quinoa, cooked

And I topped everything off with a simple Greek Salad dressing with Garcia de la Cruz Olive Oil’s Master Miller Extra Virgin Olive Oil. 🫒 This EVOO has a robust, bold flavor that’s perfect for both everyday cooking and finishing your favorite dishes.

You can find Garcia de la Cruz products online as well as in store at retailers like Whole Foods Market!
