By Stephanie Jean, Dietetic Intern It is around 2009 at 4:30 PM, and I’m just getting back home from middle school. I take my shoes off, change into comfortable clothes, grab a snack from the fridge, and head to the living room to watch Food Network. This was my routine everyday when I was younger, and I’m still wishing I could go back to these “good ole’ days”. I would always watch my favorites, like Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentiis or Barefoot Contessa with Ina Garten. These were some of my favorite chefs because they always used fresh ingredients like herbs and produce, and the dishes would come out looking effortlessly chic and tasty. Herbs were not generally used in my meals at home, so I always considered them to be very expensive in the grocery stores. I imagined of the day when I could cook like the Food Network starts and recreate their dishes on my own.

By Tyler Boatright, Dietetic Intern My food goals go straight out the window when I get hungry. I get a little rumble in my tummy and I’m headed straight to the pantry for something quick. I call these types of impulsive, stomach-motivated choices “Hungry Decisions”. Unfortunately for all of us, quicker isn’t always healthier and is typically more expensive. One helpful way to avoid this dilemma is by preparing meals a few days in advance. |
