If you're hungry for ways to stretch your food dollars at the supermarket, you're in luck. On today's podcast, you'll be eating well on just $4.00 a day. Why $4.00?

Today, on the Liz's Healthy Table podcast, we’re talking about pulses–dry beans and peas, lentils and chickpeas, soybeans and peanuts. I know. I know. This is the show you’ve all been waiting for. Right? Right! Pulses are versatile and yes, they can also be pretty exotic. They’re nutritious and KIDS LOVE THEM.

11/15/2017
A few weeks ago, I traveled to Chicago for the Food & Nutrition Conference and Expo, fondly known as FNCE.

14: Mexican Food Today with Pati Jinich
11/1/2017
Adding good nutrition to your family’s table starts with flavor. After all, if your food doesn’t taste great, no matter how healthy it may be, no one will eat it. That’s why I like to shake things up with my recipes by turning to interesting cuisines and countries from around the world, including Mexico. Avocados, beans, chicken, eggs, mangos, and chile peppers (some are surprisingly mild!) can be found front and center in Mexican kitchens, and each brings a world of possibilities to the...

13: Fermented Foods with Sandor Ellix Katz
10/18/2017
As you might know, I’ve been a little obsessed with Kombucha lately. Kombucha is a lightly fermented tea that’s a little fruity, a little fizzy, and good for your gut to boot! The power comes from the biological process of fermentation. Fermented foods are often the unsung heroes of the culinary world. Practical and nutrient-rich foods like pickled vegetables, kombucha, and sauerkraut have a unique range of benefits all their own. Today, I’m talking with Sandor Katz, the King of...

08: Reducing Food Waste with Chris Vogliano, MS, RDN
8/2/2017
When you and I make choices about the food we eat, it is easy to look at all the options and choose what is going to be healthy and beneficial for our bodies. But when was the last time you made a food choice based on what was healthy and beneficial to the environment? Sustainable eating is more than picking up local produce or reducing the amounts of harmful chemicals we use on our crops. Did you know what 40% of the food produced in the U.S. is wasted? When I found out, I was floored!...

07: Peanut Allergy Update with Sherry Coleman Collins, MS, RDN
7/19/2017
I think it’s safe to say we all carry around a little anxiety when it comes to our little ones and food allergies, particularly to peanuts. Many schools have banned peanuts, and more and more moms have delayed introducing their little ones to the nut for fear of developing a peanut allergy. However, peanuts are delicious, nutritious, and allergies are not quite as prevalent as you might think. Here to ease some of your worries and give us the facts is my guest this week, Sherry Coleman...

06: Cooking with Kids with Diana Rice, RD
7/5/2017
For busy parents and caregivers, it can sometimes feel like an added struggle to get our kiddos eating healthfully and adventurously. As tempting as we make our meals, and as cleverly as we hide those veggies, it can be exhausting trying to get our kids engaged with the food they eat. Well, what if I told you there was an elegant end to the Dinner Wars? Why don’t you pass the mixing bowl or cutting board over to your little one?
My guest this week is my dear friend Diana Rice. She runs...

There’s been a good bit of buzz in the Modern Mom circle of the blogosphere about this thing called “Baby-Led Weaning” or “Baby-Led Feeding.” It sounds interesting, but what exactly is it, and why is it the latest movement in nutrition for our little ones? My guest this week is a Baby Feeding expert, Katie Ferraro, and boy does she have the chops to teach us all about Baby-Led Weaning!
