Michelle Dudash, RDN, registered dietitian, chef and author of the upcoming The Low-Carb Mediterranean Cookbook: Quick and Easy High-Protein, Low-Sugar, Healthy-Fat Recipes for Lifelong Health, is here with her favorite ways to use the delicious Indiana tomatoes that are now bursting off the vines at a garden or farmers market near you.
Quick Fresh Cherry Tomato Pasta
This is a popular dish in Southern Italy’s Amalfi coast, highlighting the amazing tomatoes of the region, plus, garlic, basil, and extra-virgin olive oil. Season with Michelle’s Dash Dinners Marinara Spice Kit.
Tip: Avoid refrigerating tomatoes until you have cut into them or unless they are about to go bad. Refrigerating tomatoes changes the texture and flavor.
Homemade Marinara Sauce
First blanch the tomatoes to easily remove the skins.
Then puree, season, and simmer down on low heat in a skillet to thicken the sauce. Season with Michelle’s Dash Dinners Marinara Spice Kit.
Use in your favorite recipes, like in lasagna, in meat sauce, or on pizza.
Stir into your favorite recipes that use canned tomatoes
Just keep in mind that fresh tomatoes will release a lot of water when cooking, so you may need to reduce the amount of liquid ingredients or simmer longer to thicken. Add to paprikash, tacos, chili, and curry.
Also, canned tomatoes contain added salt, so you may need to add more salt to your recipes when replacing canned tomatoes with fresh tomatoes. Season at the end of cooking.
Sheet pan chicken with bell peppers and pecans
I love the ease of sheet pan dinners, where you place the protein and vegetables on one pan with the seasonings and cook it at the same time. This recipe is a go-to in our house.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (910 g) chicken legs (about 6)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cored and diced 1⁄4-inch (6 mm)
- 1 medium green bell pepper, cored and diced 1⁄4-inch (6 mm)
- 1⁄2 medium onion, diced (about 1 cup [160 g])
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup (56 g) pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) balsamic vinegar
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C, or gas mark 6) convection. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Place the chicken in a single layer on one side of the prepared pan and the peppers, onion, and garlic on the other side of the pan. Drizzle the oil and sprinkle the thyme, basil, salt, and pepper all over. Place the pecans in one section of the pan. Bake until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle the vinegar on the chicken, peppers, and onions. Transfer chicken to a plate and stir the vegetables and pecans. Roast the vegetables a few minutes longer if they need it to become fork tender.
Suggestions and Variations: Feel free to swap the bell pepper with diced carrots, Brussels sprouts, or other vegetables you may have on hand. Just try to keep the amount the same.
Make It for the Whole Family: My kids love eating chicken legs, but they don’t care for the sight of the mystery “green things” on it, so I skip the herbs on theirs and just season with salt. Everybody’s happy!
TOTAL PREP AND COOK TIME: 1 HOUR • YIELD: 4 SERVINGS, ABOUT 2 LEGS EACH WITH 1⁄2 CUP (115 G) VEGETABLES

Kids just want to be kids, and they shouldn’t have to be adults too soon. This was part of the great message we got from Erin Wuertz, community engagement manager and Emily Shrock, board member for Coburn Place this morning as they filled us in on their upcoming fundraiser. Thomas Hartman, experience manager at Hotel Tango was also there making the delicious “Watermelon- and Guava-Infused Spiked Lemonade.”
Coburn Place’s popular Lemonade Stand fundraiser is back in person this year. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, July 16, visit a stand at one of two public locations for a glass of ice-cold lemonade to support the children of survivors of domestic abuse.
This fundraiser ensures the kids start the school year with brand-new shoes, new socks, new clothes and new uniforms. The proceeds from the Lemonade Stand also set them up for success at school, helping with art and school supplies, activities, field trip fees, movie passes for good grades, and much-needed mobile hot spots. Coburn Place serves more than 600 children every year.
The Lemonade Stands will be at Coburn Place at 604 E. 38th St. and Christ Church Cathedral on Monument Circle. The Virtual Lemonade Stand is taking donations from July 1 through July 16 at coburnplace.org/lemons.
“We’re excited for the in-person stands this year and have set our goal at $25,000,” says Coburn Place Interim CEO Marilyn Kuhn. “Most of us remember how exciting it was to pick out new things for the school year, and we want these kids to have that experience, too.”
The children are involved by “leading” teams of grown-ups in a friendly fundraising competition. They designed logos and created names for their teams’ virtual stands. The winner gets to choose the cookies for the post-fundraiser celebration. They’ll also be drumming up business at the Coburn Place location.
In conjunction with the Lemonade Stand, Hotel Tango in Fletcher Place is presenting a Spiked Lemonade Stand on Friday, July 16, from 5 to 8 p.m. Coburn Place receives 20% of the bar sales for this event featuring specialty lemonade-inspired drinks – including a refreshing mocktail.

While back to school season may look a bit different this year, one thing we still need plenty of is easy, healthy snacks. Michelle Dudash, registered dietitian and author of Clean Eating for Busy Families, joined us today to share snacks that will be a hit with everyone in your family.
1. With all of the physical activity kids get, their growing bodies need a few snacks throughout the day. Michelle always keeps some go-to snacks on hand for when hunger strikes.
Muffin tins make great snack trays, and kids love how they look! You can give each child or family their own snack tray, too.
Fill them with fruits, veggies with dip, cheese, and nuts for an easy, healthy nosh. Add some exciting new flavors by tossing together a homemade snack mix.
2. Michelle is obsessed with this craveworthy Chili Lime Pecan Snack Mix, a recipe from American Pecan, who she partners with. The pecans get extra crunchy when you bake them, with a buttery, naturally sweet taste.
It’s super easy to make, with whole-grain cereal, pretzels, spices, and American Pecans. Pecans can superfy your snacks by making them more nutritious and delicious. Each 1-ounce serving of pecans provides 3 g of plant-based protein and 3 g fiber, minerals, and 12 g of ‘good’ monounsaturated fats, and only 2 g saturated fat.
To make this, we whisk together egg white, lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt until well blended. Then we fold in the pecan halves and cereal to coat. Spread it out on a sheet pan and bake at 275 degrees until toasted, about 45 minutes. Let it cool and then stir in the pretzels.
American Pecans are also known as the “Original Supernut”—original since they are one of the only tree nuts native to America.
3. Get kids involved with “snacktivities.”
Michelle’s kids love freezer pops, including these Chocolate-Dipped Bananas with Pecans. These are so easy to make. You just melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave. Dip the banana halves into the chocolate. Dip into the pecans.
You can see how versatile pecans are. You can chop them up and sprinkle them on all sorts of different snacks, like in granola bars and muffins, to top yogurt, or just eat them straight from the bag.
Place the bananas on a lined tray or container, and freeze.
Also, keep an easy access assortment of in-season whole fruit.
Late-summer apples are here! Pair them with your kid’s favorite nut butter. For something new and just in time for fall, whip up some homemade Pecan Butter in your food processor. It’s simple with just pecans, salt, and a touch of cinnamon.
You can find all of these recipes, plus more info about the nutritional benefits of pecans, at AmericanPecan.com.
Busy weeknights are back, so chef Michelle Dudash, RD brought her easy 30-minute recipes.
1. 3-Ingredient Spaghetti Meat Sauce
All you need is Dash Dinners Marinara Spice Kit, canned crushed tomatoes, and a protein of your choice, like ground beef. Serve over spaghetti or zoodles.
The spice kit contains all gluten-free ingredients and no added sugar: basil, oregano, minced garlic, onion, rosemary, thyme, and more.
Kids love this marinara sauce!
2. Shrimp and Green Bean Stir-Fry
Skip the takeout and make your own authentic and healthy dinner in just 30 minutes.
Fresh green beans are in peak season right now—tender and bright vegetable to add to your menus. Black bean sauce makes for a satisfying and authentic-tasting sauce.
3. Try soba noodles in place of rice
Soba noodles are Japanese whole-grain noodles that cook in under 5 minutes. They are really satisfying with stir-fry dishes.
Sizzling Sichuan Shrimp & String Bean Stir-Fry
This recipe offers a way to use green beans in a main course, another option for peak season when beans are so abundant. Black bean sauce lasts awhile in the refrigerator, so you’ll be able to use it over time in stir-fries.
FOR THE SAUCE:
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) black bean sauce (found in Asian food section)
- 2 tablespoons (28 ml) rice wine (or mirin, vermouth, or dry sherry)
- 2 tablespoons (28 ml) reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons (13 g) honey
FOR THE STIR-FRY:
- 4 teaspoons (20 ml) high-heat oil like avocado or rice bran, divided
- 1 pound (455 g) green beans, trimmed and blotted dry
- 1 pound (455 g) peeled and deveined large shrimp (21/25 count), tails removed
- 3 dried red chiles, more or less to adjust spiciness
- 1 scallion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (10 g) minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon (6 g) minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) reduced sodium soy sauce
- 4 cups (780 g) cooked brown rice (or brown rice noodles)
TO MAKE THE SAUCE: Blend all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons (28 ml) of water.
TO MAKE THE STIR-FRY: Heat a wok or a large pot over medium heat and add oil. When oil is shimmering, add beans and cook until slightly wrinkled, stir-frying every 60 seconds, about 5 minutes. Place beans on a plate. Put the wok back on the heat, add shrimp, chiles, scallions, garlic, ginger and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) soy sauce, and cook just until shrimp are opaque in the center, about 3 minutes. Remove chiles and swirl in the sauce. Add beans to reheat, mixing well. Serve over rice.
Total prep and cook time: 30 minutes • yield: 4 servings, 1 cup (232 g) stir-fry each (with 1 cup [195 g] rice)
Per serving: 394 calories; 8 g total fat; 1 g saturated fat; 23 g protein; 59 g carbohydrate; 7 g dietary fiber; 137 mg cholesterol.

TookTake is available in three formats to cover most dosage requirements: hourly, daily, and 7-10 day intervals.

Moreover, the most common dosages for short-term medications, especially things like antibiotics, is every 7 or 10 days, either once or twice a day. By simply placing the TookTake label on the medication bottle, you can avoid all of the stress and confusion. Each day, after you take the required dosage, simply peel off the perforated tab that corresponds to the day of the prescription.
