Oats for breakfast, oats for better sleep 🌙🥣

Oats for breakfast, oats for better sleep 🌙🥣 Did you know how you start your day can impact how you sleep at night? It’s true!

For #NationalOatmealDay, I’m sharing tips from my book, Eat to Sleep: What To Eat & When To Eat It for a Good Night’s Sleep, about the sleep-beneficial food—oatmeal! Oats contain complex carbs, which may help with blood glucose control, and has nutrients that naturally boost melatonin, aiding in relaxation for deep, restful sleep💤

Enjoy your oats, then enjoy your zzz’s! How do you like to top your oatmeal? 🥣🍓🫐🍌

Get ready for a flavorful fall🍁 This Sheet Pan

Get ready for a flavorful fall🍁 This Sheet Pan Pork Roast & Veggies recipe is a meal prep must 🍠✨

I love the easy clean-up with this sheet pan meal 👏👏 When I roast a large cut of meat, like pork or beef, on a sheet pan along with vegetables, I like to make a DIY aluminum roasting ring to help lift the meat up off the pan. This prevents juices from getting all of your vegetables, and allows the meat to cook more evenly than if it were placed directly on the pan.

It’s best to let the pork roast rest for about 5 minutes before slicing into it to help keep all those mouth-watering juices inside! 🤤 Comment ‘Pork roast recipe’ below and I’ll send you the link 💫

This recipe is also in my cookbook, The Everything DASH Diet Meal Prep Cookbook, available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and most book retailers 📚

Daylight savings is just around the corner (Novemb

Daylight savings is just around the corner (November 3rd to be exact)🌙 With longer evenings, we can create an environment that supports relaxation and restorative rest.

Sleep is crucial for our overall health, impacting everything from mood and cognitive function to the immune system. In my book, Eat to Sleep: What To Eat & When To Eat It for a Good Night’s Sleep, I provide a comprehensive approach to improving sleep through nutrition and lifestyle changes, including a ‘Better Sleep Checklist’ that outlines a few do’s and don’ts.

Here are some highlights from the checklist:

✅ Establish a calming bedtime routine. Engaging in relaxing activities—like reading, drinking calming herbal teas, or gentle stretching—can signal to your body that it's time to wind down.

✅ Incorporate sleep-supportive foods into your diet. Foods rich in magnesium (like leafy greens and nuts) and complex carbohydrates (like oatmeal) can support sleep quality.

❌ Avoid consuming caffeine 8-10 hours before bed, and don’t eat a high fat meal close to bedtime. Both can disrupt sleep patterns, making it harder for your body to relax and enter restorative sleep.

❌ Don’t neglect your sleep environment. Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool to promote a restful atmosphere.

If you're looking for more tips, strategies, and insights, check out my book 📖 Comment with ‘Sleep list’ and I’ll send you a digital copy of beneficial do’s and don'ts for getting peaceful sleep 💤

Remember, taking the time to prioritize your sleep isn’t just beneficial for your nights—it can transform your days, too 💖

Let's show carbs some love 💛🍞 Carbohydrate foods are truly so important for a balanced diet so we don't want to restrict intake of them. Instead, focus on complex carbohydrates for a good source of fiber to help with blood glucose control. Having sources of complex carbohydrates throughout the day can positively impact sleep at night 💤 Don't underestimate the power of starting the day with a good breakfast! 🧇🍞

Making the most of seasonal apples 🍎 by drying

Making the most of seasonal apples 🍎 by drying them in my @excaliburdehydrator (#gifted)! I’ve done a lot of oven drying in the past but having a food dehydrator makes it much easier, and I can set it at a more appropriate temperature for dehydration 👏👏

I sliced my apples, placed them on the racks, then set the dehydrator to 135 degrees F for 7 hours. That’s it! Now we have dried apples to snack on, mix into oatmeal, or use in salads 🥗🍎

Have you tried drying apples or other fruits? Comment 'apple recipe' below and I'll send you my recipe for Oven-Dried Apples 🎉

So grateful to Maggie Moon (@minddietmeals) for creating a one-of-a-kind event at #FNCE. A group of 50+ dietitians had the opportunity to #PauseonPurpose for Total Brain Health and focus on the 6 Pillars of Brain Health:
🍉Eat well
🧘🏻‍♀️ Move more
💤 Sleep soundly
😌 Stress less
🧠 Engage the brain
🧩 Connect

We participated in a guided mediation and sound bath experience, planted succulents, ate nourishing food, shared meaningful conversations, and heard from a memory expert, @nelzor. Thank you to the sponsors who helped make this event possible, and for all of the incredible take home goodies!
