Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potato & Cabbage Salad-1

I am so happy to be sharing this delicious Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potato and Cabbage Salad recipe today. I had envisioned making this all weekend and really meant to get a post up on Sunday but it was just one of those days that I literally ran out of time. We got home from mass around 11:30am, the weather was gorgeous- a warm 50 degrees with blue skies and the kids thought it was so warm that they decided to play with the water hose in their swim suits! No joke. My Texas born children now think 50 degrees is swim suit weather. I baked some breakfast cookies that I had hoped to post but … [Read more...]

Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip

Peanut Butter Fluff Dip | www.nutritiouseats.com

I had never been to a Pampered Chef party before living in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. I lived in the most awesome neighborhood and made several stay-at-home mom friends. To be quite honest, there wasn't much to do there so we had all sorts of fun get togethers. I got introduced to Pampered Chef through the girls there and remember one party my neighbor hosted that focused on kid friendly food. The rep of the party made this super simple dip which I call Peanut Butter Fluff (but for the sake of people finding the recipe it's official name will be Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip). This my friends, … [Read more...]

Homemade Potato Chips with Dipping Sauce

November 7, 2012 by Melanie Flinn, MS, RD29 Comments

I am stressed people! Sometimes when I am stressed I need to munch on crunchy things and I also have to run (must have those exercise endorphins flowing) so it helps balance everything out. I still feel like I haven't completely moved in, there are boxes still waiting for me in the garage, the hubs has been traveling a lot, I have about 2 1/2 weeks until family visits for Thanksgiving and then off to California. When we get back it will be close to Christmas and well I just don't want to talk about it anymore. SLOW DOWN TIME. Ok onto the inspiration behind this recipe. We used to have … [Read more...]

Winner of the Giveaway and French Bean & Buckwheat Groat Salad

August 2, 2012 by Melanie Flinn, MS, RD1 Comment

Thank you to all who entered the Bob's Red Mill Giveaway. Congratulations to the winner Brittany B.! I am sitting here getting caught up on the Olympics, trying my hardest to get this recipe posted. Boy, the gymnastics is killing me! As a former gymnast cheerleader, it is one of my favorite events. I can hardly watch the girls on the balance beam though- so nerve-wracking! So looking down at my computer is actually a good break for me. I have been on a bean kick lately. Last week I didn't meal plan and as a result I had a bean recipe overload! I made my pinto beans, a corn, avocado … [Read more...]

Coconut Buttermilk Pancakes and Meal Planning Monday

July 30, 2012 by Melanie Flinn, MS, RD15 Comments

Happy Monday y'all! Don't forget to enter my Bob's Red Mill Giveaway! There are lots of great products to try and as promised, today I will share the recipe for the delicious pancakes using Bob's Coconut flour (one of the items in the giveaway pack). I can't believe I have never experimented with coconut flour, but boy am I in love! The recipe only uses 1/3 cup of it, yet I was shocked at how the coconut really stands out. Since I don't have a problem with gluten I substituted white whole wheat flour for the rice flour. The first thing out of the kids mouths after taking a bite … [Read more...]

I am so excited for this week because I am having a little remodeling done to Nutritious Eats. It won't be anything drastic; just a little updated and more user friendly, both for you and me. Due to the edits the site will be down Tuesday and Wednesday so don't worry if you come by for a visit and it doesn't load. Make sure to check back sometime Wednesday or possibly even Thursday when it will be back up and running. Now let's talk about food!

July 4, 2012 by Melanie Flinn, MS, RD15 Comments

Happy Fourth of July everyone! Hope you all have a fun, relaxing day planned. We are going to hit up the neighborhood parade, cook out, bake cookies and watch some fireworks! I wanted to share this super easy recipe for those of you that want the taste of BBQ without putting in any of the effort. Plus a friend asked me to post it. I made it earlier this week and although we are smoking a brisket for the 4th of July, I thought not everyone has the time or desire to cook outside all day. Well this folks is for you! All you need is a few ingredients and a slow cooker. You can sit inside in … [Read more...]

Healthy Grains: Quinoa Tabouli

June 7, 2012 by Melanie Flinn, MS, RD3 Comments

I can't remember the first time I tried tabouli, but I have been eating at Middle Eastern restaurants since I was a kid. If you haven't had it, it's a typical Arabic salad made of bulgur, parsley, mint, tomatoes, often seasoned with garlic, onions and a simple dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. There are slight variations of the salad: usually just varying amounts of the herbs and seasonings. Although I love it with the traditional bulgur, I don't always have it stocked in my pantry so I tried using quinoa once. It was a great substitute and you get the added benefit of … [Read more...]

Moving Update & a Recipe: Japanese-Style Guacamole

May 14, 2012 by Melanie Flinn, MS, RD7 Comments

Hello friends! It has been 10 days since we left our home in Missouri and we've been living in hotels ever since. We just got to the Seattle area 3 days ago and are quickly looking for a house to rent. We will be living here for at least 3 years so we want to make sure it's the right place! Meanwhile, my computer and kitchen goods are on a moving truck on the way here so I am not sure how long it will be before I will be back in the kitchen cooking and blogging. I do plan on having a couple of bloggers guest post to help me out during this transition period so make sure to check in! In the … [Read more...]

Secrets to Longevity & Greek Lemon Chicken Soup (Avgolemono)

April 6, 2012 by Melanie Flinn, MS, RD13 Comments

I am so glad that the temps dropped from high 80s to the low 40s just so I could post this recipe. You never know when it's going to be a soup day. My grandparents are Greek and there a few things that my Grandmother makes that will always remind me of her: her Greek cookies, roasted Greek chicken and avgolemono soup. This soup is so yummy and comforting, bursting with lemon flavor. This isn't her recipe but a modified version. I am so lucky to have both of my grandparents still around and active (Gigi lives in Texas down the street from my parents and Grandpa lives in Michigan). My … [Read more...]
