This is the quintessential chocolate chip cookie and the espresso coffee powder adds such a rich flavor to it! You would never know that I gave it the cuisinicity touch: whole wheat pastry flour instead of plain white flour for added fiber, regular smart balance instead of butter to replace saturated fat, and considerably reduced sugar typically used for a batch that makes 3 ...

Chocolate Brownies
Luscious, dark and rich tasting, just the way a brownie should be, yet very low in fat and sugar (some of the sugar has been replaced by the natural lactose sugar found in milk). Just perfect for Valentine's day! Chocolate Brownies Cuisinicity Tip: I use whole wheat pastry flour, which is made out of wholegrain soft wheat that is much lighter in taste than whole ...

Chicken Parmesan
If chicken parmesan is one of those favorite dishes you had to avoid because it was too rich, here is one I think you'll love and I know will love you back! It's very easy: I use the recipe for my crispy chicken tenders made with the wholegrain crust (so you have added fiber to boot!) and I use a store-bought simple tomato marinara sauce, so that's one less thing to fuss ...

He is theory, I am practice!
I am not a nutrition expert per se, I just live with one! David routinely says I have learned everything he knows about nutrition over the years. I don't think so! But as he also says, he is theory and I am practice- so I do know how to turn what he preaches into what our family practices. My intent in Cuisinicity is just to “translate” the evidence-based knowledge ... Read More »
The accessibility is just one of the things I like about your site!
"Thanks- the accessibility is just one of the things I like about your site! The public is bombarded with what to eat/how to eat/and there is a different food group every other week that will cause disease – wheat and sugar being the two current attractions – makes it all complicated. Your recipes/website and your husband’s recent book are excellent guides – leading us out of ... Read More »
Turkey Meatballs
An Italian classic every kid loves! You would never know these wonderfully moist meatballs are not made with ground beef! That’s because of the puréed lentils that I sneak in there, as well as moist bread crumbs made from 100% wholegrain sliced bread--here is a brand I love! You won’t know that they are there but they create a dark moist "beefy" texture that is just perfect ... Read More »

How to Add Fiber
You will find a lot of fiber "hidden" in my recipes! The reason for that is that a high intake of fiber offers a range of health benefits AND helps with weight control because it allows you to fill up on fewer calories. What you WILL find in my recipes are lots of whole grains, legumes and beans, fruits and vegetables, all rich in fiber. I have lots of little tricks ... Read More »

Mocha Brownie Bites
These are melt-in-your mouth decadent tasting little brownies--gluten-free to boot! The rich coffee flavor is outrageous and the little coffee bean on top of each not only makes for a beautiful presentation but also adds a wonderful little crunchiness!
