The Kitchen Invitation

Today’s guest in the kitchen is Amanda Claxton, RDN who shares her passion for teaching clients nutrition in a gentle way. It’s called Gentle Nutrition which you may have heard some about if you’ve been an avid listener! However, she and I go over different tips for honoring our nutritional needs through meal planning and also sprinkling in foods that are sentimental, extra fun, new, pretty, and keep things simple. She has a simple way of encouraging people to check in with themselves on how their food changes are going and how to enjoy the non-flashy process! Enjoy!

We are starting off the new year on an exciting note with Rebecca Clyde, RDN on the show today! She’s a registered dietitian and owner of Nourished Nutrition Company where she focuses on creating recipes and resources all about cooking for one. She also believes food​ ​is​ ​meant​ ​to​ ​be​ ​simple​ ​and​ ​nourishing.​ And that you can nourish yourself with delicious food (and no diet culture) while cooking for one.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe:

Today’s episode is an interview with 5 time cookbook author and chef, Lei Shishak. We cover her newly released cookbook, “Plant Based Cooking for 2” and go over what lead her to eat more plant based meals, how approachable her book is, and of course some general cooking tips as well. She’s not a chef that keeps her secrets close to the chest and at the end, she blows my mind with a tofu hack I’ve already tried twice and loved. I personally really enjoyed a book that keeps an open mind when it comes to how people eat, basically, this book doesn’t should all over you with philosophies or personal beliefs. It’s a practical recipe book for learning to add more plants in your kitchen - nothing wrong with that!

In today’s episode I want to give you a couple of healthy mindset suggestions to consider as we step into the last two months of the year. Incoming are the holidays and of course the dreaded diet advertisements for everyone to change everything about themselves in the new year. Not to go too far into a tangent but diets don’t work. If you want to make changes to the way you move, the way you feel, the way you eat…that’s fine. But a restrictive 30 day diet or plans that cut out entire food groups are not likely to be sustainable. So let's bite into a better way to approach the holidays and the start of a new year.
