This is a big weekend for holiday parties and here

This is a big weekend for holiday parties and here is a reminder to eat regularly throughout the day before going to these parties. Saving up your calories to eat later at a party is never a good idea, it can lead you to overeat by going to the party really hungry. Instead, focus on having meals during the day that are high in protein and fibre to keep you full. When you are at the party, do your best to build a balanced plate (veggies, protein rich foods and carbs too) and include all those foods that you enjoy. There can be an overwhelming amount of food at parties, so take a look around and pick the ones that you enjoy the most and make sure to do it guilt free. #holidayeating #dietitiantips #christmaspartytime

#ad Have you been noticing the new magnifying-glas

#ad Have you been noticing the new magnifying-glass labels on the front of food packages? I’ve partnered with the Canadian Sugar Institute (@cdnsugarnutr ) to help explain what these labels mean and how you can use them to make informed food choices. These labels will become mandatory in Canada on January 1, 2026, but many products already display them. Front-of-package labels are required on packaged foods that meet or exceed specific thresholds for saturated fat, total sugars (including both natural and added sugars), and/or sodium. For most packaged foods the threshold is 15% or more of the Daily Value, but it differs for foods with a small serving size and for prepackaged main dishes. Some foods are exempt, such as fruits and vegetables with no added sugars and certain unsweetened dairy products like plain yogurt and plain milk, because they offer important health benefits (for example, supporting bone health). Other items, like bags of sugar or sweeteners such as maple syrup and honey, are also exempt because adding a label would be redundant. The FOP symbol is intended to help you quickly identify foods and beverages high in these nutrients. When you see one of these labels on the front of a product, take a moment to flip it over. The Nutrition Facts table and ingredient list provide you with additional details, such as calories, actual amounts of saturated fat, sugars, and sodium, as well as other nutrients you may want to pay attention to, like fibre, iron, or vitamin D. Looking at these as well can help you make a comprehensive choice. So if you see these labels when you are grocery shopping, use them to think more about your overall eating habits. These foods can still fit into an overall balanced diet with mindful attention to portion sizes. For example, a serving of four mini doughnuts may be high in sugars, but two might not be (which is the case for the ones featured in the video). Caption continues in the comments section

Healthy, delicious and festive pancakes with no fl

Healthy, delicious and festive pancakes with no flipping required! I’ve partnered with Egg Farmers of Ontario (@eggfarmersont) to share this sheet pan gingerbread pancake recipe (ad). Just pour and bake in one quick batch for perfectly spiced, warm, fluffy pancakes that the whole family will love. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
¼ cup milk
¼ cup melted butter
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp molasses
1 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ginger
¼ tsp cloves
Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or a similar-sized sheet pan. Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth (alternatively, add the ingredients to a bowl and use an immersion blender like I did in the video. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Slice into squares (or use a festive cookie cutter for a fun, extra kid-friendly option) and serve with maple syrup and fruit. #gingerbreadpancakes #proteinpancakes #christmasrecipes

Never threw out your Parmesan cheese rind! Did you

Never threw out your Parmesan cheese rind! Did you know the whole thing is completely edible? It’s very hard to eat normally but when it’s cooked in a broth it gets soft and gory, it gets really delicious. #cookingtips #flavourbomb #flavorbomb #parmesancheese #soupseason #cozyfood #dietitiantips #cookingfromscratch #nowastedfood

Simple Italian comfort food that’s also good for y

Simple Italian comfort food that’s also good for you! (AD) I’ve partnered with Egg Farmers of Ontario (@eggfarmersont) to share this healthy, Italian comfort food known as “piselli e uova” aka peas and eggs, that my grandmother used to make! It’s humble, cozy, and perfect for those nights when the fridge is looking a little bare but you still want something comforting and nourishing. November is also Diabetes Awareness Month, and this dish is diabetes-friendly. Protein-rich foods, such as eggs, can play an important role in regulating blood sugar levels. Plus, eggs contain many essential vitamins and minerals, including antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which help reduce the risk of developing cataracts and other eye diseases. Studies have shown that in people with type 2 diabetes, those who ate one egg per day had better fasting blood sugar levels, with no changes in cholesterol levels. Peas have a low glycemic index, meaning they don’t cause quick rises in blood sugar – another reason to make this cozy dish! Ingredients:
2 tsp olive oil
½ of a small onion, finely chopped
1 cup frozen peas
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Directions: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they are soft. About 5-7 minutes. Add the peas and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add the beaten eggs and, using a wooden spoon, stir them in so they scramble with the peas. When the eggs are almost set, add the Parmesan cheese and stir it in. Cook until the eggs have set. Top with more grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serves two as a side dish. #italiancooking #comfortfoods #eggsofinstagram #eggrecipe #dietitiansofinstagram #

How many times have you heard a mom say or maybe y

How many times have you heard a mom say or maybe you have said yourself, “I made breakfast or lunch for my kids, but nothing for myself”? This a reminder to prep something for yourself! Or something that you and your family will eat. As moms, we are always looking after our kids and so worried about what they eat, that we can forget about ourselves. I love baked oats and my son also likes this recipe (I think it’s his main form of vegetables lately) so I make it often for both of us! And while it may not be zucchini season, zucchini is always available and always affordable so I buy it almost every week. Banana Zucchini Baked Oatmeal:
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 small zucchini, grated
2 tbps brown sugar
1 ½ cups milk
1 egg
2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ cup chopped walnuts Directions: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Pour into a greased baking dish and bake at 400°F for about 30 minutes or until the oatmeal is set and liquid is absorbed. Perfect for national oatmeal day! Try it! #momsmatter #nourishyoursoul #momlife💕 #bakedoats #bakedoatmeal #easybreakfast #mealprepideas
