It’s rare I make a recipe twice. There are just too many good ones out there to try! Even Funk noticed when we sat down to dinner last night and commented, “We’ve had this before, right? You never make a recipe twice. And…it tastes like pizza.” Which is pretty much exactly the conversation we had [...]

One of my biggest peeves as a dietitian is when naturally nutritious foods are made out to be the bad guys simply because of the way they’re prepared or what other ingredients they’re paired with. Case in point: potatoes. As is, they’re loaded with fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. If you drench and fry them [...]

Deanna Segrave-Daly is a partner with Teaspoon Communications and a registered dietitian that pretty much lives to eat. She blogs at www.teaspoonofspice.com and tweets as @tspbasil. She also co-hosts #kitchentool Twitter chats with Janel every other month on Twitter. As summer kicks in and temperatures soar, I get super happy – not just because of [...]

The other day my friends Pam and Jess came over to help me assemble some wedding programs and favors. In return, I promised to feed them! But after a super busy day running around, I didn’t have time to whip up anything elaborate. So, I threw together some simple ingredients and came up with hummus [...]

Maybe it’s because when I became lactose intolerant I had to give up cheese, and never really developed much [...]

Usually Funk is the one requesting homemade pizza around here, but this time around it was me. I couldn’t get a broccoli artichoke pizza off the brain! I started out with a premade ciabatta bread (that’s basically pizza crust) from Trader Joes. It’s already fully cooked when you buy it in the store, and pizza-pie [...]

I’ve posted about Naan pizza before, but this time, I think I’ve got the perfect method to make an individual pizza. You see, every time Funk and I make pizza, we realize the veggies on top are never cooked well enough, or we have to pre-cook them before putting them on the pizza, which is [...]

I whipped up this pizzette recipe in my head, and then in my kitchen, and it is a winner winner pizzette dinner. Although I finally mastered making polenta on the stovetop, I still like the prepared polenta that comes in a tube. Call me lazy, but it’s one less pot to scrape clean after a [...]
