Let’s Meet Erin!

 

“Erin Sal is a Registered Dietitian & Diabetes Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach.

Erin earned her bachelor’s degree from Purdue University in 2018 and then completed her dietetic internship at Central Michigan University in 2020. Erin has since been working as a Registered Dietitian in a variety of different healthcare settings including a Level 1 Trauma Center where she worked on a variety of different hospital units including diabetes, cardiac, stroke, surgical, and intensive care units.

More recently Erin has been working at an inpatient physical rehabilitation hospital. Throughout her career, Erin has seen firsthand what complications can come about from lacking diabetes care.

This has led Erin to create her own virtual private practice where she works with clients with Type 2 Diabetes, whether newly diagnosed, long-time diagnosed, or those with pre-diabetes. Working with clients with diabetes has been a life-long passion of Erin’s and is the reason she became a Dietitian.

She enjoys educating clients on how they can lower their blood sugar & stop struggling with their weight - all while consuming their favorite foods. When she isn’t educating clients on nutrition, you can find Erin cooking up a wholesome meal in the kitchen, sweating it out at hot yoga, or playing with her Goldendoodle Labradoodle fur baby, Marlee Mae.”

The Perfect Sautéed Mushrooms…

…With Tips from Chef Robert

Servings: 4

Equipment

·       Sharp Knife

·       Cutting board

·       Sauté  pan (I prefer non stick)

Ingredients

·       1-pound fresh mushrooms

·       2 Tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil (no added oil flavor)

·       2 Tablespoons butter

·       Freshly cracked pepper and salt to taste

Clean & Cut: Do not soak the mushrooms. Clean off excess dirt with a damp towel or give mushrooms a quick rinse and dry. Cut bigger mushrooms into similar-sized pieces. Don’t cut them thin as they will shrink up while cooking. Meaty thick pieces cook best!

Give Them Some Room: Don’t overcrowd your sauté pan, you need plenty of room for a good sear.

High Heat: Turn the heat up to medium-high and allow time for your oil/butter to get hot before adding the mushrooms. Look for the shimmer of the oil. Keeping the heat up will help moisture evaporate quickly giving you a beautifully caramelized mushroom. If mushrooms are giving off lots of moisture keep the heat going until it’s gone. Over washing will contribute to the added moisture. The term “sauté” means high heat …little oil.

 Let’s Do This : Clean and slice mushrooms into similar size pieces. Don’t cut them too thin, as they will shrink while cooking.

Heat oil and butter in a medium to large pan over medium-high heat. Look for the oil to shimmer before adding the mushrooms.

Add mushrooms and toss in the oil quickly. Cook mushroom for 3-5 minutes. Stir and allow mushrooms to finish cooking for a couple more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Large mushrooms can take a little extra time. 

Deglaze and Season: After a good sauté you’ll notice some bits of the mushroom clinging to the bottom of your pan. There’s a whole lot of flavor there that can be infused back in by a simple deglaze. To capture the flavor add a splash of liquid at the end of the cooking process and stir it all up. Simply, add a few tablespoons of water, wine, stock, cream, or sherry to the pan after the mushrooms are done cooking. Keep the temperature up and stir until the liquid evaporates.  

For Added Flavor: 

Use garlic and herbs. Turn heat down to medium-low and add last minute of cooking. Wonderful herbs to try are thyme, parsley, and rosemary. 

Fresh lemon and or lime

To Make Ahead: Mushrooms can be sauteed ahead of time and stored covered in the fridge for 3-4 day. Reheat in a skillet until warm.

To Freeze: Freezing may change the texture of sauteed mushrooms. After cooking, freeze mushrooms flat on a cookie sheet. Once completely frozen transfer to a freezer-safe container. Thaw and reheat in a pan over medium heat.

Deglaze: Add a few tablespoons of water, wine, stock, cream, or sherry to the pan after the mushrooms are done cooking. Keep the temperature up and stir until the liquid evaporates.

Prediabetes – Your Chance to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes

What Is Prediabetes?

Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Approximately 96 million American adults—more than 1 in 3—have prediabetes. Of those with prediabetes, more than 80% don’t know they have it. Prediabetes puts you at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

The good news is that if you have prediabetes, the CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program can help you make lifestyle changes to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems.

CDC is the nation’s leading science-based, data-driven, service organization that protects the public’s health. For more than 70 years, we’ve put science into action to help children stay healthy so they can grow and learn; to help families, businesses, and communities fight disease and stay strong; and to protect the public’s health.

Hey there! I’m Jill Weisenberger …

… a registered dietitian nutritionist, certified diabetes care and education specialist, certified health and wellness coach and certifiable food lover.

Changing my habits and thoughts brought me greater health and more joy. I’ve helped thousands of others improve their health too.

I remember when I thought it was a personal weakness that my lunch started at a fast food restaurant and ended with chocolate. Why didn’t I simply do what I knew was right? After some soul-searching and a few (or a lot) of missteps, I did. Bit by bit, I created my healthy habits and a bucket of energy by setting myself up for success, relying on solid routines, changing my mindset, and dropping that useless view that eating and exercise are either all good or all bad. With relief, I discovered that not eating perfectly isn’t a personal weakness.

I can help you too.

Whether you have diabetes, prediabetes, heart disease or you simply need a better way to lead your life to avoid health problems down the road, you’ll find answers to your questions about food, nutrition and healthy habits right here.

Happy Diabetic Cooks his way Thru Italy

Eating My Way Through Italy: The Happy Diabetic Style. Taking the slow road to Discover the Hidden Treasures of the Italian Mediterranean Dinner Table

https://www.sfogliarina.it/en/

Our pick of restaurants was Sfoglia Rina which served the most impressive tortelloni we had in Bologna.

Sfoglia Rina

I love Sfoglia Rina for a number of reasons:

  • They make their own fresh pasta.
  • They only serve pasta and desserts, so it’s ideal if you don’t want an epic multi-course meal.
  • They are open all day until 8 pm so you can eat outside the usual strict Italian mealtimes.
  • It’s good value as there’s no cover charge and water is free (very rare in Italy).
  • The space is cool and modern with unusual lampshades and tables decorated with pots of fresh herbs.
  • It’s casual—the menu is on a blackboard and you write your table number and order on the notepad and give it to the waiter then pay afterwards at the till.

Recipe – Oven Roasted Salmon with Fruit Salsa

Divabetic was inspired by the late R&B legend Luther Vandross, founded in 2005 by his long-time assistant, Max “Mr. Divabetic” Szadek.  Divabetic, a combination of the word “diabetic” with the letter “V” inserted for Vandross, evokes feelings of power and a positive attitude associated with the great divas Luther loved, like Patti LaBelle.
 
started Divabetic in 2003. I sold my first Divabetic t-shirt and donated the proceeds to different diabetes nonprofits until Divabetic became a nonprofit in 2005. 
 
I'll be promoting Divabetic's latest mystery podcast, "Tomorrow Is Not On The Menu" available for free on iTunes, BlogTalkRadio and Spotify. This show focuses on sugar addiction and the added sugar in our diets and dispels the myth that weight loss is the be-all and end-all to achieving better diabetes management. 
 
Brief Synopsis: The happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic, lands his to-die-for job as a caterer for the nation's hottest health guru, Wendy Wattage's Wellness Retreat on the Jersey Shore. Everything seems low pressure and low calorie until the body of the nasty food critic, Marilyn Macaroni, is found stabbed to death with one of Max's new chef knives. Now he's the prime suspect in a big, fat murder investigation! Can he and his team of friends, diabetes educators, and his nosey Italian mother, Mama Rose Marie, find the killer before the police arrive? Or will he be trading his fruit suit for coveralls with stripes? Weight loss murder never tasted so good.
 

Starring Mr. Divabetic, Best-Selling Author Tonya Kappes, Mama Rose Marie, Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDCES, Maryann Horst Nicolay MEd, NTDR, Kathie Dolgin aka 'High Voltage,' Seveda Williams, Catherine Schuller, Dave Jones, and Lorraine Brooks. Produced by Leisa Chester Weir. Special thanks to our colleague, the multi-talented Wendy Radford.

Blog Talk link: https://www.blogtalkradio.com/divatalkradio1/2023/01/16/divabetic-mysteries-tomorrow-is-not-on-the-menu-part-8

 
Divabetic Mystery Podcast's goals are:
  • Encourage people with diabetes to problem-solve issues related to their self-care like their favorite TV detectives
  • (write things down, search for clues and share information with your healthcare collaborators and ask questions)
  • Manage diabetes as a team rather than go it alone
  • Make learning about diabetes fun and interesting
 
This year, Divabetic is talking about re-framing the way we look at 'mistakes" as "discoveries" rather than "regrets." Our first podcast, of the year, features guest Rachel Zinman, a yoga instructor and author living with LADA. Rachel shares a Guided Meditation about Compassion. It's our 6th consecutive year of partnering with Rachel at the start of the New Year to encourage listeners to reset with a fresh, clear mindset about managing their diabetes.

We are stepping into the New Year together exploring ideas for a happy healthy lifestyle way of eating!

It’s time to gather your thoughts, journals and goals for a New Year’s refresh.

As someone who’s trying to live my best diabetic life, New Year’s is an opportunity to reset, regroup, and revitalize.

I want to have revolution of goals and ideas… not a revolt! Keep an open mind… Stay open to possibilities of trying something new.

That said, it’s best to get a head start on your New Year’s resolutions now.

It just isn’t going to happen. But, if you stand firm in actually sticking to your resolutions this year.

So, whether you want to get back on that fitness grind, sharpen certain skills or be more productive, we have invited some amazing folks who live in the diabetic space every day to tell you about their list of the top New Year’s resolutions to give you inspiration for 2023.

I think it will inspire you…

My background includes a B.S. in Professional Writing from Champlain College and certifications in cognitive coaching, Ashtanga Yoga, and personal training. Back in the day, I set 15 records in drug-free amateur powerlifting with record lifts of 190 lb. bench press, 265 lb. squat, and a 300 lb. deadlift. (You can find old competition videos on YouTube!) No more heavy lifting for me these days, but you will find me using most of my free-time jumping rope, lifting light weights, walking my dog with my handsome fella, sprinting up and down the sidewalk, and scootering with my kiddos in empty parking lots.

Today, I am a mother of two little ladies, living in Vermont with my handsome fella and the world’s most loyal pups, Petey and Wilma.
