Turkey Meatballs with Sauce on Spaghetti Squash -- Juggling With Julia

Spaghetti squash. I’m still amazed that my kids all like this unusual-looking vegetable. Packed with vitamin C, niacin, potassium, and fiber, and such a pretty yellow color, I am psyched every time they eat it. However, I learned when they were younger that, just because they like something today, there’s no guarantee they’ll like 2 months from now. So we [...]

Roasted Turkey Sausage with Peppers, Potatoes, and Onions -- Juggling With Julia

I’m a huge fan of Italian sausage, and use the leaner turkey version frequently in a quick stove-top sausage-n-pepper thing that the whole family adores. [...]

Roasted Buttermut Squash Soup with Bacon -- Juggling With Julia

Have I ever told you all how great you are? You’ve stuck with me all this time! It’s amazing, really, that you come for (mostly) healthy recipes, and yet there are times that I forget I’m a dietitian, subject you to my Seuss-like food poetry, do weird things to bacon, and require you to read [...]

Mediterranean Chopped Salad -- Juggling With Julia

Are you looking for a new salad idea, but not necessarily your usual pile o’ greens? My girl, Georgia, loves her some chopped salad (celery, carrots, croutons, and cheese), so I took a page from her book and threw together this Mediterranean-inspired version after getting cukes on sale last week. Veggies abound here — a good cupful –  [...]

Food Obsessions! (Asian Noodle Salad)

October 4, 2012 Lunch Ideas

Ya know what I’ve been obsessed with lately? Fast food. Don’t freak out.  Here it is… Doesn’t it just make your mouth water??

Corn, Parmesan, and Baby Greens with Balsamic Dressing

September 12, 2012 10-minute Meal

Here’s the downside to having your youngest *finally* in school all day: you spend more time cleaning and organizing. Why? Because it’s there. And, now you have no excuse not to do it.  So, there I was cleaning out the refrigerator while simultaneously trying to figure out what to make for lunch. I knew I wanted a [...]

Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower with Shrimp

June 6, 2012 Broccoli

At the most unlikely of times, I managed to hit a home run yesterday. I was unprepared and uninspired, and had only a 45 minute window in which to make dinner. I needed it to be quick. I needed it NOT to require a 10-mile round trip to Market Basket. And, I needed inspiration. So, with shrimp and [...]

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

February 8, 2012 Appetizers & Snacks

Yesterday I experienced the most surreal and exciting moment.  My kids were home from school and starving. I happened to have a pan of roasted Brussel sprouts cooling on top of the stove. With just a little encouragement, Moe, Larry and Curly hustled over to the pan, excited to try something new. The playfully jostled each other while [...]
