Haar Quoted in LoseIt!

Clinical Associate Professor and Chair for the Department of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Mindy Haar, Ph.D., RDN, was featured in a LoseIt! article about how learning to cook and prepare meals at home can support weight loss goals. For new cooks, Haar recommends kitchen tools that cut down on prep time, including immersion blenders, which are helpful for making homemade soups and sauces, and blended seasonings to boost flavor.

“New cooks may not have an array of spices and herbs at hand, so blends provide that interesting zip to dishes while reducing sodium content,” she says. “My favorites are these seasoning blends from Trader Joe’s: Everything but the Bagel, Chile Lime, and 21 Season Salute.”
