It’s Easter weekend, and whether or not you’re hosting the egg hunt, it feels like the perfect time to talk about feeding a crowd (and yes, there’s a recipe for you too—keep reading!). If you've been following along each week, you know I typically share recipes for everyday meals. But when it comes to entertaining, I love finding ways to make nourishing, crowd-pleasing dishes that feel special without being overly complicated. Btwn Meals is a reader-supported publication.

Seed oils have become one of the most polarizing topics in the nutrition world—villainized by some, staunchly defended by others, and utterly confusing to the rest of us. If you've ever wondered whether you should be more serious about avoiding canola or soybean oil or if the debate is just another sensationalized wellness trend, you're not alone.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted this ground turkey, kale, and mushroom pasta bake on Instagram stories, and my DMs exploded like a pasta boil-over asking for the recipe. So, after much pleading from the masses (okay, maybe just a handful of you), I’m finally sharing it this week!Baked ziti was always one of my favorite meals growing up, and I love bringing that nostalgic feeling back with a healthier approach.

Who doesn’t love a good snack? I know I do. But if you’re frustrated or feel out of control with your snacking habits, you’re not alone. I always include snacks in my clients’ nutrition plans, but there’s a big difference between an intentional snack and mindless grazing. Btwn Meals is a reader-supported publication.

A little cold the weekend before my trip to New York left me without a voice, and then—true to form—I pushed myself in that uniquely exhausting way that NYC demands. The result?

This week, I could barely stay up past 8:30 p.m. and felt an undeniable need for a reset. So, here’s what I did:Went to bed an hour early every night.

Today’s post is about spring fashion, which might sound trivial for a nutritionist’s Substack, but I believe in the power of the trivial—the cloth napkins you break out on an average weeknight to make a simple meal feel elevated and encourage conversation with your family, the new sneakers that motivate you to get to the gym and try a new workout class, the blazer you wore to an important meeting. Sometimes, a small boost helps us show up as our best selves.

Happy Spring, Readers!I spent last week in New York, where I didn’t do a lot of (or any) meal prep, but I did eat really well.
