Pulled BBQ Chicken | Serves 4-6

I make this dish at least 2-3 times per month as it’s my boys’ absolute favorite. While I can surely make my own BBQ sauce, I opt into bottled here (the non-offensive kind) because it makes my life easier and it tastes really good! I always make extra so there is enough for lunch the next day. I hope you love this as much as we do…

Red Quinoa Tabouli | Serves 4-6

High in protein thanks to the quinoa, this dish is packed tight with nutrition. It’s vibrant, crunchy and filling so enjoy a large bowl straight up or as a side to grilled fish or chicken! Oh, and it keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Dairy + Nut Free Pesto | Serves 8

I highly recommend a food processor for this recipe. While pesto is traditionally made with nuts and cheese, I pulled both out of this recipe for two reasons: My older son has a dairy allergy and I wanted to appeal to those who opt out of eating nuts. So here it is…

Choosing Local F.I.S.H. | Fresh Indigenous Sustainable Healthy    

After my book, What The Fork are You Eating was published, I recall someone boldly saying, “Gosh Stefanie, you know so much!” And to my readers, it may surely seem that way. However, the comment truly left an imprint. While writing the book and even after completing it, I regularly thought about how much I didn’t know and how much more I wanted to know.

In the book I touch on fish, from regulations (or lack thereof) to navigating purchasing, but there is just so much more to learn and explore. So, when the folks from Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) Marine Program approached me in the spring of 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to collaborate on a project, I jumped at the opportunity.

Guardians of Nourishment

Several years ago, I was hired to consult to a world-renowned chef—three of his NYC restaurants were charged with making human and environmental health their number one priority so getting educated and reimagining cuisine was their mission. We began with sourcing—looking at every ingredient and determining how they could do better—then moved into discussion and instruction on how to cook through a health supportive lens.
