I like to say that my favorite food group is cheese. I know cheese is not an actual food group, but it’s so delicious it ought to be. Even though it can be high in calories and saturated fat there are still ways to enjoy cheese as part of a healthy diet. Plus, all cheese is a rich source of calcium, so sampling the abundance helps to strengthen your bones. Try these delicious recipes and 5 tips for enjoying cheese healthfully...

We’ve been having an ongoing debate here in the EatingWell Test Kitchen about which berry is the best. When I initially brought up this question I thought the correct answer would be totally obvious to everyone. But only I seemed to be clued in to the fact that the only choice that’s truly deserving of that number one ranking is raspberries. In the spirit of our summer fruit debate I thought I’d share a couple of my favorite EatingWell raspberry dessert recipes with those of you who love raspberries as much as I do.

Italian in 20 minutes? No problem.

In July and August, I never seem to have enough time in the evenings after work to do everything I want to do. So dinner recipes that are ready in 20 minutes or less are my go-to. Since I try to make dinners using the vegetables I pick in my backyard—tomatoes, zucchini, dark leafy greens, lettuce and lots of fresh herbs—I tend to make a lot of Italian-inspired recipes. Here are a few of my favorite speedy summer recipes that can be prepped in 20 minutes.

The other day we needed cabbage for a photo shoot here at EatingWell. We bought a few heads at the grocery store and I picked some from my mom’s garden. The garden cabbage was so gorgeous and massive that when my co-workers saw it sitting in the Test Kitchen, they rushed in to check it out. The excitement got me thinking and I was so inspired that I went home with a head of Savoy and decided to start cooking my way through some of my favorite cabbage recipes.

Beer-Barbecued Chicken and other light summer favorites

I was being interviewed for a radio show the other day and the host asked me about summer comfort foods—what to grill, what to bring to a party and of course, what’s for dessert. I immediately suggested one of my absolute top picks for summertime comfort food recipes: Beer-Barbecued Chicken. The EatingWell test kitchen developed this recipe as a healthier version of the famous beer can chicken. If you’re not familiar with that method, you basically stick a chicken on top of an open can of beer and stand the whole thing up on your grill over indirect heat to yield a moist flavorful chicken. Some of my other top picks for healthier versions of summer comfort foods you’ve got to try are...

4 healthy steak recipes to please your manly appetite

After college I moved to San Francisco where my Texas-born, steak-loving friend Amy introduced me to the city’s manly steakhouses. We may not have looked like we fit in—two young, single, wine-sipping women perched in the high-backed leather booths, surrounded by dark wood, ornate carpets and groups of men slugging back straight Scotch. But when the bone-in rib-eyes arrived, we could hold our own. I blush to think of the huge slabs of red meat I put away at each sitting.

Now I take a more sustainable approach to steak.
