Chefs Vikki Krinsky and Rich Rosendale star on Recipe Rehab.<\/p>\n
It’s dinner time, and after a long day you’re eager to stuff your face into a shame spiral. It happens to the best of us. Saturated fat, sugar and carbs are as powerful a drug as any, and nearly inescapable unless you’re making everything from scratch. Still, there’s only so much culinary abuse a body can take, even if American palettes refuse to compromise on taste. When it comes to balancing nutrition and flavor, who you gonna call?<\/p>\n
Chef Vikki Krinsky, naturally.<\/p>\n
Chef Krinsky’s cooked up storms for Hollywood bigwigs like Spiderman (Tobey Maguire), the girl from Knocked Up<\/em> (Katherine Heigl), and currently hangs her chef’s hat in Peter Griffin’s (Seth MacFarlane) kitchen.<\/p>\n When she’s not serving up delicious meals for the Family Guy<\/em> creator, she stars on the Emmy-nominated Recipe Rehab, streaming on Hulu. On Recipe Rehab<\/a>, Krinsky and Chef Richard Rosendale<\/a> adapt your family’s favorite recipe, and make it a million times healthier. You know, God’s work.<\/p>\n Chef Krinksy took some time to discuss healthy eating habits, her favorite ingredients and inescapable junk food she can’t help but treat herself to now and then.<\/p>\n On Recipe Rehab you\u2019ve developed countless healthy renditions on food from tamales to hamburgers. Over the past two seasons, what are some of the recipe makeovers you\u2019re most proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n Good question, there\u2019s so many. I think my Mac n Cheese was a big hit. I also think my tamales were a fun unique recipe. I think last year I would say my version of carrot cake, which I made into basically a gelato.<\/p>\n One of the complaints many families have when it comes to cooking healthy is the perception that it takes longer. What\u2019s a tip you offer to people who want to eat better but are always on a time crunch?<\/strong><\/p>\n Well it seems that mentality, first and foremost needs to be thrown out the window. Eating healthier doesn\u2019t take more time to make the food, it just takes a little more effort to educate yourself about it. <\/p>\n My advice would be to have a really positive attitude when you go into the kitchen and understand that you\u2019re fueling your body, which will help underline this positive mentality. <\/p>\n There\u2019s a movement brewing as of late, of foodies flocking to healthier stuff like kale and heirloom tomatoes. What\u2019s your favorite go-to healthy ingredient and one you wish more people used?<\/strong><\/p>\n You know, I use a lot of spinach\u2014and I\u2019ll tell you why. I hide it in a lot of things, because it has such a mild flavor. An ingredient I wish people used more\u2026full fat yogurt is a good one. My favorite ingredient would have to be chia seeds. <\/p>\n I literally put chia seeds in everything. If I make a big salad, I sprinkle chia seeds on top of it. I just made chocolate mousse and I added chia seeds to the actual mousse. I make smoothies, throw them in that. When I make a ragu I use chia seeds to kind of give it a fluffy texture.<\/p>\n Is there an inescapable junk food you treat yourself to once in a while?<\/strong><\/p>\n Always. Well, listen\u2014I eat dark chocolate every day of my life. I wouldn\u2019t consider that junk food because it\u2019s 85 percent but you know, everyone needs a little sweet in their life. <\/p>\n I love pastries! I don\u2019t eat them often but when I do, I really eat the shit out of it, you know? I can\u2019t say I feel guilty about it though. Anything cheese, like a cheese scone? That\u2019s got my name written all over it. Cream cheese danishes\u2014that sort of thing.<\/p>\n Any plans to get back into the spotlight in an acting capacity?<\/strong><\/p>\n No, no. The spotlight that I reach for now is basically just me sharing my education in front of people to live a better life. As far as spotlight meaning staring as an actor in a TV show? I don\u2019t have any desire to do that.<\/p>\n What\u2019s some advice you\u2019d offer for anyone that aspires to kitchen greatness. <\/p>\n We should be grateful for everything we have, really enjoy food and try to be the best version of yourself as best as can be.<\/p>\n How does Seth Macfarlane take his steak?<\/strong><\/p>\n Haha. Medium-rare, and I always crust it with cumin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Surely, you’ve come across this problem before.
