I have a new recipe to share for Arugula, Apple & Brussels Sprouts Salad, and my husband Tim joins me for his annual “cameo” to tell you how he survived the year and to share highlights from our recent vacation in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

I’m new to your site and think it would be nice to hear an interview with Christopher Kimball.
A topic that would interest me is getting my kids more involved in the kitchen. I have two boys, 11 & 13, and think its important for me to prepare them early. I don’t do fast food, ever, and want my kids to have the basic culinary skills so that they don’t fall into the trap of the drive thru!
My favorite episode was when you interviewed Ellie Krieger. After listening to her, I bought all of her cookbooks!
Her recipes are so awesome. I’m looking forward to her next book too 🙂
I would love an episode on sports nutrition, not only for active kids but also for adults! Have been a long time listener and your transition from MMM to LHT was seamless!
Seamless! OMG. If you only knew. I’ll keep that a secret. Thanks for the feedback. Means a lot to me!!
Hi Liz- congratulations on making this milestone! I love your show! I would enjoy listening to an episode regarding meals/snacks that aid in lowering triglycerides. Thanks!
I have loved listening this past year. I would always love help with packing lunches that appeal to younger children with a variety of healthy recipes. We seem to take the same things over and over again.
Hi Liz- congratulations on making this milestone! I love your show! I would really enjoy listening to a future episode regarding meals/snacks that aid in lowering triglycerides. Thanks!
Wonderful and informative way to drive to work! I would love to hear more about nutrition for those of us trying to eat in a way that supports hypothyroid issues, in particular, Hashimoto’s. And perhaps great foods that don’t contribute to inflammation.
Thank you!!
You got it. The inflammation topic would be a good one.
I would love some help with getting my daughter to eat fruit and vegetables. She doesn’t eat yogurt, smoothies, mac n’ cheese or anything I could even hide them in.
I have been a fan if yours for years so I really like this new adventure that you are on.
I bought the cookbook from your budget show for my college age daughter so that was a good one and received the Patient Jinich book for Christmas so that was an excellent one as well. Finally Ellie was incredible. Keep doing what you are doing!
Thanks for the feedback. So appreciated!
I enjoyed your podcast on your conference, Healthy kitchens healthy lives. Your discussion with one of the presenters from this conference was great- love when people discuss veggies and all the wonderful ways to prepare them:-). I would love a podcast on quick & healthy meals. I’m also curious about the sous vide cooking method, so a podcast on this would be awesome- thanks! Also, happy anniversary and keep up the good work!
Thanks! I’m having Super Healthy Kids founders on in a few weeks to talk about fast family meals. I’m excited for that show. Hope you like it 🙂
I love episode 3 about picky eaters! Such great ideas. However, most of the ideas are directed at younger children. Sadly, my picky eater is now 16. (I know – mom of the decade here.) I’d love to see picky eater ideas directed at a child that has been picky for so long that healthy foods make him gag. Thankfully, he’s not a junk eater, but only eats proteins and grains. There’s going to be no “making” green vegetables appealing, but ideas on how to change his mindset would be beyond fabulous!
I enjoyed learning about meal prep and freezer cooking. I would like to see you have Zonya Foco on. She has a new cookbook coming about it’s about Real Food. Thank you for your podcasts
I enjoyed hearing about meal prep and freezer cooking. I would like to see you interview Zonya Foco. She has a new cookbook about Real Food. Thanks for doing the podcasts.
I have known Zonya for years. I’ll check out her book. Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
I always enjoy hearing about food trends from the Food & Nutrition conference so the episode with Janet Helm stands out! I would love an episode on healthy snacks- both homemade and store bought.
Speaking of Mexico, I’d love to see more episodes with international foods with hacks using ingredients from our American grocery stores.
I enjoy the healthy food inspirations you provide. Thanks!
I LOVE this podcast! I believe my favorite was the feeding picky eaters episode. I have 2 daughters who are 6 and 8 and my 8 year old is a sugar junkie! After that episode, I started putting a raw veggie tray on the dinner table as a vegetable option for my 8 year old who complained that steamed veggies were too sour. What I learned is that she will glad eat up veggies raw, she just doesn’t like them cooked. It has helped tremendously in getting her more nutritious foods. Thank you so much for tips like this one that make feeding my girls a little easier and healthier!
You made my day! Glad that tip worked so well for your girls!!!
I loved the show with Ellie Krueger, too, as someone else said. I’d love to hear about what foods would help with arithritis/inflammation, too.
I loved the show with Ellie Krueger. I’d love to hear about what foods would help with arithritis.
I always love good ideas for my Instant Pot so that was a great episode for me. I would love to see more podcasts on healthy budget eating.
I admired you interviewed Ellie Krieger cooks very healthy meals
I would love more make ahead recipes, as well as sports nutrition. As a distance runner I need fuel and recovery meals that are quick and easy. Thanks for a great Season 1. Here’s to many more.
Fantastic podcast!
My favourite episode was the one with Sharon Palmer!
I would love to hear more discussions with other dietitians, what minimally processed grocery store shortcuts you or others use and easy quick balanced meal ideas.
Thank you for all the hard work you have put into season 1 ?
The best episode of LHT so far has been the Cooking on a Budget with Leanne Brown. I love her cookbook and it was great to listen to how it came about. It’s nice knowing that healthy eating doesn’t need to be expensive.
I think you should have Emily Fonnesbeck RD on! A great fit with your holistic health and well-being message!
I liked Meal Prep Magic. My family stays pretty busy, so any tips or recipes I can get to make getting dinner on the table easier on weeknights is great!
I liked the Instant Pot episode – inspired me to take mine out of the box to use!!!
Would love to have more recipes for working families – providing healthy, easy meals during the week.
Liz this was a great episode. I really enjoyed hearing about your travels and the foods you have eaten. We have a lot of the same food likes. Can’t wait for year 2.
I’d like more about picky eaters and grandparents.
Great podcast! With summer time right around the corner, I would love to hear about healthy ideas for picnics and cookouts. My family loves to build and cook over an open fire.
This was my first time listening and I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. As a retired RD, I empathize with the effort needed to trial new recipes that are flavorful. And I also enjoy trying and sharing recipes as well as nutrition information with everyone who is interested in improving their meal plans.
I love the idea of using produce in season to improve nutrition.
Thank you for sharing your expertise and I look forward to listening to more podcasts.
Hi Carol:
So glad you found me! Hey … if you’re on Nantucket (which I see in your email), let me know. I’m there much of the summer. Sconset. Let’s meet up for a cup of coffee 🙂
i’m on my kids school wellness committee, any good ideas for this RD mom??!?!!?
I was on my schools wellness committee in 2006 ad 2012. I have lots of ideas. Can you be more specific with the types of ideas you’re looking for?
Hi Liz,
Its truly hard to pick just one episode from over the last year as “my favorite”. I think the most useful one was with Leanne Brown cooking on a budget podcast. I love that she was a “real” cook that made use of what she has to make healthy and exciting meals. I immediately downloaded the book she wrote after listening and have enjoyed the recipes I have tried so far. I love that its a free resource for everyone to enjoy and use as a tool. I have learned over the years how you can always make something w/ what you have in your pantry and fridge even when you think you have nothing. It make cooking so fun and mysterious at times which I love and am always up for a challenge. Thanks for providing such great topics and making cooking even more of a joy for me and everyone listening.
I really enjoy your podcast . One topic idea that comes to my mind is nutrition in the elderly . My mother is 89 and still lives in her home . Due to physical restrictions she is cooking less and my daughter and I are doing more … shopping , bringing food etc. Any ideas for feeding seniors healthfully.?
Guest idea .. Janice ?
I recently found the podcast and am working my way through the episodes. Its hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to- I’d pick “Eat Your Vegetables”. Ana’s passion and connection to food was really inspiring to me. I’ve listened to it a couple of times and appreciate the advice about introducing different vegetables. Thanks so much for this podcast- I’m a big fan!
So glad you found me! Enjoy the show 🙂
I loved the freezer meals episode. I bought the cookbook and am planning to make something from it today.
I’ve never watched. I love anything having to do with cooking and baking.
I love the podcast. My favorite has been Cooking on A Budget. I learned a ton from that episode. I would love a “How to use your CSA box” episode. I belong to one, but feel like I end up doing the same things with the contents all the time because I don’t know what else to do. 🙂
