What is Healthified?

Healthified means small, simple changes in your everyday life to cook better, eat better, and live a better, healthier life. See what healthified means to our kitchen experts.

Shirley Dolland

Manager, Health and Wellness

Some days, she’s offering up suggestions for food preparation. Other days, she’s tasting and evaluating different recipes. But, every day, she’s at the center of it all making sure our kitchens run as smoothly as possible.

Jennifer Kalinowski

Senior Test Kitchen Expert

It all starts and ends with Jennifer. She helps select which recipe will be healthified, works with the food editors, and reviews the recipe with our Sr. Nutrition Scientist for final approval.

Tamara Schryver

Sr. Nutrition Scientist

Where could this recipe be healthier? How could we do it? These are the kinds of questions Tamara asks herself and the eba team daily. Her expertise is translating nutrition science into simple, relatable practices for everyday use.

Marcia Brinkley & Grace Wells

Food Editors

There’s nothing more to being a food editor than writing recipes. You can find Marcia and Grace brainstorming different ways to healthify a recipe, doing research in the eba library, testing in the kitchen, and, of course, tasting their delicious results.

Looks like your everyday, ordinary kitchen, right? That was precisely the plan. Our kitchens were designed to reflect America’s cooking needs and lifestyles. We use the same healthy ingredients and state-of-the-art appliances and equipment to test thousands of recipes every year.
