Working with habaneros or other very hot peppers? Wear gloves. 🧤🌶️

Capsaicin can irritate your skin and can be especially painful if it gets into your eyes or other sensitive areas. A simple pair of gloves can save you from a very uncomfortable surprise later.

Consider this your friendly kitchen PSA. 😅

One of the greatest joys of what we do is seeing food become part of the healthcare conversation.

Recently, had the honor of joining the amazing team at Lifestyle Medicine Retreat, where we shared a hands-on culinary medicine cooking demonstration with physicians and staff.

It was inspiring to spend time with healthcare professionals who truly understand that lasting health isn't just about treating symptoms, it's about helping people change their lives through nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, connection, and yes...delicious food.

We know that simply telling someone to "eat healthier" rarely changes anything.

Showing them how to prepare meals that are simple, flavorful, satisfying, and realistic for everyday life? That's where the magic happens.

I'm so grateful to Dr. Heidi Prather and the entire Lifestyle Medicine team at HSS for inviting us to be part of this incredible program. Their commitment to helping patients improve their health before and after surgery is changing lives, and we're honored to contribute through culinary medicine.

Thank you to everyone who cooked with us, asked great questions, tasted the food, and reminded us why this work matters so much.

The future of healthcare isn't just in the operating room.

Excellent article Food & W**e! Bringing it back to basics.

The protein trend and MAHA movement make it seem like Americans are eating less plant-based food. The latest data reveals a much more nuanced story.

My favorite pesto without taking on a second mortgage and using only pine nuts! And - really anytime you can add broccoli sprouts (hello sulforaphane!!) is never a bad idea!

Well, this was fun.

I was honored to be asked to contribute to The Family and Scout Guide to Plant Foods, a new resource designed to help Scouts, families, and youth leaders learn how to make healthy food simple, delicious, and practical.

You know what's funny? We spend so much time trying to help adults undo decades of habits. What if we simply taught more kids how to cook?

How to make a pot of chili.

How to roast vegetables.

How to build a meal that actually fuels their bodies.

How to head out on a camping trip without relying on hot dogs and junk food.

Imagine that.

For nearly 20 years, I've been teaching people that healthy food doesn't have to be complicated, expensive, or weird. Give people a few basic skills, a little confidence, and some really good recipes, and amazing things happen.

That's why I love this project. It meets kids and families where they are and gives them tools they can actually use.

Huge thanks to Janet Pearson and Dr. Mary Anne Kiel for all the work that went into this book. I'm grateful to have been included among so many talented contributors.

Now if we can just get more kids excited about beans, we're really onto something. 😄🌱
