Who says cauliflower has to be boring? 🍂 I'm kicking off November with a little something delicious, and this recipe is on me!⁠
⁠
My Fall Harvest Cauliflower with Crispy Prosciutto is one of those dishes I keep coming back to because it's easy to make, full of flavor, and so versatile.⁠
⁠
Think golden-roasted cauliflower, crispy prosciutto, peppery arugula, Parmesan and sweet dried cranberries, all tossed with a tangy Dijon vinaigrette.⁠
⁠
It's the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table, but just as delicious alongside your favorite weeknight meal.⁠
⁠
And there's plenty to love beyond the flavor! Cauliflower brings fiber and vitamin C to the table, while olive oil adds heart-healthy unsaturated fats.⁠
⁠
The full recipe is FREE on my Substack! Head to the link below to grab it, save it, and make it your own. You can also find the ingredients and step-by-step instructions in my Stories today!⁠

Why should we care about blood sugar if we don't have diabetes?⁠
⁠
It's a question a client recently asked me, and it's one worth talking about!⁠
⁠
November is National Diabetes Month, and I want to start by reminding you that blood sugar health isn't just about diabetes. It's also connected to our heart health, brain health and how we support our bodies as we age.⁠
⁠
The good news? You don't have to eliminate carbohydrates or give up the foods you love to build healthier habits.⁠
⁠
That's one of the reasons I love the Mediterranean way of eating. It's about fiber-rich foods, healthy fats, balanced meals and making room for the joy of eating.⁠
⁠
Throughout November, I'll be sharing more about blood sugar health, including practical Mediterranean recipes, everyday habits and a special Substack Live with registered dietitian Erin Palinski-Wade on November 16!⁠
⁠
I'm kicking things off with a new article on Substack: "Blood Sugar Isn't Just a Diabetes Thing."⁠
⁠
It's FREE to read, and I'd love for you to join the conversation. Find it at the link below.⁠
⁠
And I have a question for you: What would you like to know about blood sugar, sleep or healthy aging? Leave your questions below. We may bring them into our upcoming Live!⁠

No tricks, just treats (and dinner!). 🎃⁠
⁠
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays, and with it falling on a Saturday this year, I'm thinking it's the perfect excuse to gather a few friends around the table.⁠
⁠
My menu? Keeping it simple!⁠
⁠
🍲 Old-Fashioned Chicken Chili that's hearty, comforting and easy to make ahead.⁠
🥗 Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with crisp apples, sweet dates, toasted almonds and a tangy apple c***r vinaigrette.⁠
🍫 Butterscotch Rice Crispy Bars for a little something sweet!⁠
⁠
Because eating the Mediterranean way isn't about skipping the treats or making every meal perfectly healthy. It's about enjoying a variety of nourishing foods while making room for the foods we love.⁠
⁠

What if the ultimate power lunch was actually a warm bowl of soup? ⁠
I'm giving the traditional "power lunch" a Mediterranean makeover, and it starts with one of my favorite ways to eat more plants: Minestrone, also known as Longevity Soup.⁠
⁠
Inspired by the kitchens of Sardinia, this comforting soup brings together vegetables, beans, leafy greens, herbs, and olive oil in one nourishing bowl.⁠
⁠
It's simple, flexible, and one of my favorite ways to make lunch easier throughout the week because eating well doesn't have to mean complicated recipes or hours in the kitchen!⁠
⁠
In my latest Cooking the Mediterranean Way, I'm sharing the full recipe, cooking tips, and why this humble soup deserves a spot in your regular rotation.⁠

San Antonio bound! ✈️ I’m headed to the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE), one of my favorite opportunities to connect with fellow nutrition professionals, keep learning, and come home with fresh ideas for the Fully Mediterranean community.⁠
⁠
One thing I’m especially excited about this year is taking a class at the Culinary Institute of America while I’m there. Getting to keep learning, both from the nutrition side and in the kitchen, is always such a highlight for me.⁠
⁠
Follow along in Stories for what I’m learning, what’s inspiring me + a few behind-the-scenes moments from San Antonio!

This is a conversation I have often with friends, family and clients: Does what we eat actually make a difference when it comes to breast cancer risk?⁠
⁠
There’s a lot of information out there, and it can be difficult to separate what’s supported by research from what simply sounds convincing.⁠
⁠
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m sharing some of what I tell the people I care about when they ask me about food, alcohol and cancer risk.⁠
⁠
I’m digging deeper into this conversation on Substack, including what the research tells us and the practical choices I believe are worth focusing on.

Something making its way into my fall kitchen? Butternut squash! 🍂⁠
⁠
It's one of my favorite ingredients this time of year. Naturally sweet, versatile, and perfect for everything from cozy soups to hearty salads.⁠
And one of my favorite shortcuts? Frozen, pre-cut butternut squash! All the seasonal flavor without the extra prep.⁠
⁠
A few ways I love putting it to good use:⁠
🍂 Roasted: Tossed with olive oil, cinnamon and a pinch of salt until tender and caramelized.⁠
🥣 In soup: Blended with sautéed onion, garlic, vegetable broth and warming spices for a cozy fall meal.⁠
🌿 In my Black Bean & Butternut Squash Enchilada Skillet: One of the six recipes featured in this month's Mediterranean Game Plan!⁠
⁠
A couple of kitchen helpers I love? My Cuisinart Smart Stick immersion blender for soups and Le Creuset oval baking dishes for roasting seasonal vegetables.⁠
⁠
