Chicken Thighs with Shallots in Red Wine Vinegar (Poulet Au Vinaigre)

I lightened up this popular French chicken dish known as Poulet Au Vinaigre, which is made with chicken thighs and shallots cooked in red wine vinegar and white white.

Red wine vinegar gives it an intense, tangy flavor, that mellows as it simmers. Shallots are similar to onions, and are always a staple in my house along with onions and garlic. They can transform any ordinary dish and make it extraordinary. The ease of this dish makes it perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

7 Tasty Taco Salad Tricks

Remember that time we talked taco salads with Bob Harper? And we both went on and on about how delicious and amazing taco salads are? Well, my love for the taco salad is true, long-lasting, and well-documented. Taco salad isn’t just the best of salads — it’s one of the best foods, period, in my opinion. Maybe you feel the same way. Maybe you don’t. Maybe you’ve never even had a really good taco salad (so sad). That’s exactly why I wanted to write this post. Because there are okay taco salads, good taco salads, and then GREAT taco salads.…

Podcast Ep 104: Patricia Moreno of IntenSati, Part 2

If you loved the first half of our interview with Patricia Moreno, creator of IntenSati, then Part 2 is gonna rock your socks, because none of us — Patricia included — hold anything back. Patricia was, at one point, the highest paid instructor in New York City and consistently rated as “best instructor” year after year by top media outlets — but secretly, she was depressed and pursuing the notion of “thin at any cost.” Part 1 of this interview gets into how she shed her “fat-phobic” mentality and changed her life for the healthier, and in Part 2, we get into how…

What You Need to Know About Diet Culture

We’ve been writing a lot more about diet culture these days. And while a lot of us are on the fad-diets-don’t-work-and-aren’t-worth-it train (choo, choo — and yay, yay!), it’s important to be aware that diet culture is sneaky. And it’s everywhere. And there are loads of ways for it to work its way into our lives (and heads) without us even knowing it — and that’s what we want to dive deeper into right now. Because, not to be dramatic, but this is the stuff that affects our daily lives, choices, and even our self confidence (not to mention our ability…
