Craving a mouth-watering, metabolism-boosting, ready-to-go breakfast for the week?  I totally hear you. As my career gets busier and busier, I’m finding myself in need of fast, macro-balanced breakfasts that I can make in bulk for the week and grab and go in the morning. ...

I’m obsessed with this trail mix.  It’s perfectly sweet, satisfying and ideal for kids or when you’re on the run!  Think crunchy pecans and seeds baked with maple syrup and cinnamon, then tossed with crisp cinnamon apple chips and rich chocolate!! Most trail mixes are all...

So, I’m all about looking and feeling young and fit with all- natural mouth-watering meals!  And yes, that includes dessert.  Say hello to the Anti-Aging Seriously Delicious Brownie. This totally rich and decadent brownie helps you fight the hands of time and may even help...

I LOVE cookie dough. But let’s be real.  Cookie dough isn’t exactly the healthiest snack in the world (even this version.)  BUT while most cookie doughs are loaded in processed white flour and white sugar and you end up eating half  a batch, this version...

Need a go-to smoothie for those busy mornings and afternoons? Try my Banana Almond Smoothie - It’s sweet, simple and perfectly balanced to help you burn fat, build muscle, increase your energy and reduce cravings.

Nutrition Coach & Chef, Valerie Cogswell's mouth-watering, fat burning recipes are featured in the book, "Why Kids Make You Fat...And How to Get Your Body Back."  Written by Mark Macdonald, this book includes a proven eight week plan for busy parents to lose weight, easy recipes (including family style options), real-life strategies and a specific workout regimen.
Many people resort to extreme diet trends in order to lose weight. But Valerie Cogswell, a certified nutrition coach and chef, will tell you that the secret to looking and feeling healthy is not deprivation, but properly fueling the body. The Weymouth resident, who spends much of her time cooking up delicious recipe ideas in her home kitchen, doesn’t like “diet” food. Instead, she specializes in creating all-natural, restaurant-quality dishes that deliver the perfect combination of protein, carbohydrates and fat. Eating this way balances blood sugar levels, which in turn helps burn fat, build lean muscle and boost metabolism and energy.

When it’s ridiculously cold out and a cup of tea just won’t cut it, reach for Lean & Laced Hot Cocoa! It’s rich, chocolatey and packed with metabolism-boosting protein (unlike most hot cocoas that are loaded in sugar and whole milk or cream). I used...
