We have known the answer to this for some time now, we just decided not to tell anyone. Did you ever wonder who really is behind the Dietary Guidelines for Americans?  Who  decides what is best for us to eat?  What is healthy to eat and what is not healthy to eat?  How much much we [...]

Okay, first let me say, this post is really not meant to be a bash on Weight Watchers (there was just not enough room in the title to include all of the major weight loss programs: i.e.  Jenny Craig, Medifast, Atkins, Zone,  South Beach…<insert your favorite failed diet program here>).

Who doesn’t love decorating Easter Eggs? Right? We sure do. And, even though the girls are 16 and 20 now, we still have fun gathering in the kitchen to decorate eggs on Easter weekend. (In fact, we still enjoy hiding them and looking for them..but don’t tell anyone.) We don’t really eat eggs that often [...]

Lose 10 pounds Before Summer without Starving, Sweating or Suffering

If you’d love to lose 10 pounds before summer, don’t miss out on our free webinar this Thursday, March 28. Details are below.

The Secret Sauce

Open top secret envelope on table.

Okay, this morning I sat laughing at my computer so loud that Karen had to come check in on me. Do you remember “I Love Lucy”?  I used to love watching that show as a kid. There was this one classic episode called, Vitameatavegamin. In this episode, Lucy stars in a TV commercial for this magic potion [...]

mac-and-cheese

It can be embarrassing to talk about, but you don’t have to be ashamed. To be honest, Boring Dinner Syndrome (BDS) is something our family suffered from for years. As it turns out, it is actually very common in our society. How can you tell if you have BDS? Well, if you have BDS, the [...]

Olive Oil vs. Coconut Oil

This is a fun one. As part of The Kitchen Skinny family, you’ve heard us share the benefits of cooking with coconut oil versus olive oil. It’s one of the first switches we make with our clients as they prepare more meals at home. Why? The primary reason is that olive oil, due to its [...]

You may wonder what this title has to do with weight loss and healthy eating, but stick with me. It all ties together. I can’t even tell you how exciting it was for TK and I to be interviewed by Chris Brogan for his The Human Business Way podcast. I’m a huge fan of his [...]

A Valentine’s Idea you’re going to LOVE!

Do you have plans for Valentine’s yet? There used to be this saying…“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” (I’m not really sure if that’s true – what do you think?) What I can definitely tell you though (after 21 years of marriage)…you can find lots of romance in the kitchen. And, [...]
