Tip of the Tongue Episode 329: A Conversation with Nicholas Kelly

We all want to be healthy. And when we are we often take it for granted. For those of us who have a chronic illness, especially one that affects our eating, have a knowledgeable dietician may be just the thing. We may need that guide through the medical and scientific jargon to a simple meal plan and easy food principles to follow. Nicholas Kelly tells us about some of the real issues facing dieticians and their patients. He also discusses the relationship between dieticians and clinicians. Nicholas has also written a cookbook full of high calorie recipes, especially aimed at people who are wasting or those who expend a lot of energy like athletes.

Do you stop up the gas station to pick up take-out? Do you remember going to the gas station with your parents or just one parent to buy certain things. Was that gas station your favorite restaurant?

Although I made it with buttermilk instead of cream (I simply like the tang of buttermilk), that was an excellent recipe which I would name as my favorite out of all the recipes I tried from the book. I am thinking of making it for family Thanksgiving. Both authors, despite their business and scientific acumen are professionally trained and experienced chefs. Despite the science that backs up the recipes, they know what they are doing in the kitchen. The recipes work and they taste good.

Tip of the Tongue Episode 323: The Birth of Mightylicious

Carolyn Haeler was diagnosed with celiac disease after a long period of medical exploration. And after she found out what her new path required, she realized that the foods that were prepared for people with celiac disease were dreadful. Lousy cookies and baked goods. Treats were a disappointment to say the least. So she created her own company to make cookies, sell gluten-free flour, and mixes. My favorite is the brownie mix. It is really good.This is a story of grit and determination, as well a problem solving, and a desire to make life better for people with a problem with gluten.
