As much as I love writing about cooking, we all enjoy a bit of takeout. And now with so many different brands changing up their packaging and claiming they have all these attributes - recyclable! eco-friendly! bio-degradable! - it is time to look into the truth of the matter.
I went on Dr Oz to discuss what' you should actually be looking for.
Read MoreI love getting the chance to change people’s minds about the small actions in their day-to-day cooking, and few things are as popular to make at home as tacos! And while a lot of people are still buying packages of taco seasoning, I was really happy to share how easy it is to do it yourself on Dr Oz. Check out the video below to learn a bit more about what’s actually in your tacos
Read MoreIf you caught me on Dr Oz today you’ll have seen me demo’ing a recipe for pork butt in a segment on the best cheap cuts of meat. And while it’s true that pork butt is one of the best values it also happens to be one of the most flavorful cuts around. It just requires a bit of low and slow cooking, although the prep is as easy as could be - or if you are a fan of the instant pot it is even easier,since you could make it in less than an hour.
But this recipe is packed with flavor - lots of herbs and lots of vinegar make a bright delight ready to take on any occasion.
Read MoreToday I got to swing by Dr Oz again to chat about one of my all-time favorite subjects - eggs! Anyone who follows me on Instagram knows most of my mornings are reliably egg-filled, so I never want to say a bad word about them. So it was a joy to get to share a bit of information on egg yolk health, substitutes and recipes with Oz.
Read MoreIf one good thing came out of the shutdown perhaps it is a growing realization that all of our food is actually inspected. While people seem to know this in the abstract it became much clearer once everyone started to read about how much rigor goes into our food supply. There are a lot of mechanisms in place to try and keep us all safe across an almost unfathomably large food chain.
Read MoreThere are few snacks I love more than nuts, but I am a big fan of variety, so I am always looking to switch it up. But with so many options today how can we know what to look for and what to avoid?
I stopped by Dr Oz and put on my Food Investigator hat to dig into the topic of nuts recently. There are some key things everyone should know - from the health-related ingredient lists to the cost-conscious ways to shop to the best ways to store.
So watch the video below before I result to puns - this is nuts (ha, couldn’t help it).
Read MoreI love few things in life more than cheese (sorry husband and child…) so it’s a topic I get pretty excited about. This week I got to put my Food Investigator hat on for Dr Oz and delve deep into the world of cheese. I did a segment at a cheese import facility to showcase the difference of real cheese and then came back in the studio to explain a lot of the additives and extras we see in processed cheese.
So if you want to learn more watch below (and note that there are actually 4 segments for this so just keep going if you want to see more!).
