Christine, a new mom and banker from Ossining

Christine, a new mom and banker from Ossining

Thank you for re-connecting me to the food I eat, Susan. I realized that I needed a referee at first to show me what the limits were, then a coach to help me be successful, and now a friendly voice in my inbox (or at the farmers market) to cheer me on and give gentle encouragement. This course taught me that I have so much more will power than I imagined. And I fit into pants that I was about to give away, thinking “there is no way I am dropping from an 8/10 to a 4 again.” They actually fit. I can’t even believe it. And I did it by eating chocolate truffles, smooth miso soup, sweet potato chips, almond butter spread, energizing juices, and hearty falafel salads. I started with a list of about a dozen physical and mental complaints that seemed unrelated. Every single one improved in the first week and most are gone after a month. I feel so much more confident. My skin is clearer. I am making smarter decisions at work. I feel closer to my wife and daughter. This was exactly what I needed. It set so much else in motion, with just a 21-day commitment. Thank you for introducing me to this new life.

There’s something so satisfying about stepping i There’s something so satisfying about stepping into the garden and picking your own Swiss Chard (from seed) vibrant, fresh, and packed with nutrients! 
This leafy green is a #metabolichealth powerhouse. It’s rich in magnesium, fiber (which supports digestion + satiety), and antioxidants that help fight inflammation. 
I always say: it’s not about restriction rather it’s about adding in the right foods to fuel your body. Swiss chard is one of those foods that checks all the boxes . 
Toss it in a smoothie, salad, sauté it with garlic, or add it to soups and stews. Your metabolism will thank you.

From Garden to Plate – Homemade Tomato Sauce! I From Garden to Plate – Homemade Tomato Sauce!

In this week’s Teaching Kitchen video, I’m making a fresh, flavorful homemade tomato sauce using beautiful local tomatoes at their peak. This is real, nourishing food.

Here’s how it all came together:
🧅 Sautéed chopped onion and garlic in #evoo 
🍄‍🟫Added in mushrooms for umami flavor
🍅Blanched and peeled ripe local tomatoes, chopped and simmered adding to them to my rich sauce
 🌿Tossed in fresh basil from my garden
🫒 Finished with a handful of Kalamata olives

I’m serving this delicious sauce over a mix of @jovialfoods brown rice pasta and fresh zoodles. 

This sauce is simple, seasonal, and adaptable to your choice of protein, I added in sea scallops. 

Watch the full video for tips and the full step-by-step!

Tell me in the comments – what’s your favorite way to use fresh tomatoes?
