    ENDORSEMENTS

    I’ve worked with Food Heaven Made Easy for nearly 3 years, and Jessica and Wendy have been nothing short of invaluable time and again as partners – they stand out as some of the most creative, responsive and truly original professionals in the dietetics field. Across all our food and beverage projects, they understand the brand’s needs and collaborate across the board to create incredibly innovative and delicious plant-based recipes, evidence-based and culturally relevant nutrition education, and visually stunning shareable content. Mallory Zuckerman, Senior Account Supervisor, Edelman

    Wendy Lopez and Jessica Jones are two of my (and SELF’s) go-to experts when we need experts to weigh in on nutrition and eating from a compassionate, practical, inclusive, non-shamey, weight-neutral perspective. Wendy and Jessica have (and offer) it all: wholesome, delicious recipes, practical nutrition tips, important and insightful analysis of wellness culture, an affirming and inclusive approach to health, and a fun, super accessible, casual-but-caring voice. Bonus: They’re an absolute delight to work with! Sally Tamarkin, Food and Fitness Director, SELF Magazine

    I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jessica and Wendy on a continuing education webinar for registered dietitians. Their attention to detail and professionalism is first rate and their enthusiasm for their subject matter is infectious! Jack Graham, Director, Today’s Dietitian Magazine

    Wendy and Jess prepared a stellar webinar on how to launch a YouTube channel for IACP. I was incredibly impressed by their preparation, spiffy presentation, and overall professionalism. Devra Frost, International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP)

    Crispy on the outside, oozy on the inside, we are Crispy on the outside, oozy on the inside, we are using @cabotcheese seriously sharp cheddar to make these bolitas de yuca for your superbowl turn up! A mouthwatering Dominican appetizer made with my favorite root vegetable, these bolitas feed a crowd and pair perfectly with Cabot cheddar, which is naturally aged and 100% lactose free. See below for the full recipe! #cabotcreamery 

Ingredients 
🧀 1 pound yuca, peeled and chopped into small chunks 
Salt
🧀1 tablespoon butter 
🧀1/2 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped 
🧀1/4 teaspoon of garlic
🧀1/4 teaspoon of paprika 
🧀4 ounces of Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese, cut into small 1/2” chunks 

Directions:
🧀Preheat the oven to 450F.
🧀Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil and add the yuca. Boil for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain the yuca, remove all of the fibrous stems and add to a medium sized bowl. 
🧀Mash the yuca well with butter, jalapeño and spices until completely smooth. Adjust for salt and set aside until cooled. 
🧀Grab about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the yuca mix, put the cheddar cheese in the center and roll it up into a ball. Repeat for the remaining yuca and cheese. 
🧀Add the yuca balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet OR air fryer and spray with oil. Bake for 25 minutes (or air fry for 10-12 minutes) until crispy and browned on the outside. Enjoy on their own or with your favorite sauce! 

TIPS: 
👉🏽If the balls are extra sticky, wash and dry your hands throughout the rolling process - this will help. 
👉🏽If your yuca mash is bulky, add a little bit of water while mashing to make it smoother.
    Ya’ll, let’s normalize checking in on people w Ya’ll, let’s normalize checking in on people when we see them versus commenting on their bodies. It’s just not it. Over the holidays, I had to check several family members about this. For many including myself, it’s awkward, uncomfortable and even if well-intentioned, it can be triggering for people. And you just never know what’s going on (maybe they’re sick, maybe they’re on medication, maybe they’re pregnant and don’t want you in their business)

What are some other ones you’ve been told? The latest on my roster has been “damn that ass is fat” 🤣 (can’t make this up)
