Hello and welcome to the podcast! I hope you’re hungry, because I have a fun and inspiring conversation for you today with
, who’s a New York Times bestselling and two-time James Beard Foundation award winning author of 7 cookbooks. She’s also well known from her Food Network show “Healthy Appetite” and her Public Television series “Ellie’s Real Good Food.”
Ellie shares how she developed her love for food growing up in New York City and why she decided to become a registered dietician nutritionist. She opens up about her own struggles with food and body image as a kid and young adult, and how she found balance and freedom around food.
We discuss the term “healthy” which can be a confusing and even problematic word in many ways, but Ellie offers so much clarity around how what’s healthy is so contextual. She shares what healthy means to her and why she uses the word.
And finally, we have some fun. Ellie and I share our favorite flavor-packed but low-effort ways that you can use summer produce. We cover tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, corn, herbs and more, and you’re going to leave with easy recipe ideas and tons of inspiration. I’ve included links below to many of the recipes that we discuss—definitely save this episode to come back to as we get further into the summer!
