Roasted Red Potatoes, Kohlrabi, and Spring Onions

Here’s a continuation of my CSA dinner recipes from last weekend. Roasting is one of my favorite ways to cook veggies when I don’t want them to go bad and have no specific recipe for them. You can roast pretty much any vegetable, although my favorites for roasting are asparagus, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnip, and onions. So of course with…

Grilled Corn, Basil, and Tomato Salad

As I mentioned yesterday, last weekend I made dinner using my CSA veggies. Included in the bundle were 3 ears of corn and some basil. I also saw grape tomatoes on sale at Fairway (my local, awesome supermarket!), and decided to make one of my favorite nutritious and delicious combinations: Grilled Corn, Basil, and Tomato Salad. Ingredients: 3 ears corn,…

The Apple of My Eye

Many people complain about the lack of fruit options during the fall and winter. It’s true that there isn’t much variety compared to spring and summer, but one of my favorite fruits is best this time of year: Apples! There are over a dozen types of apples to choose from, but my favorites are Gala, Braeburn, and Fuji. I find…

Roasted Kale

Yesterday I told you all about the different types of kale and the nutritional benefits of this green powerhouse. But what I didn’t tell you is what to do with it! Many people get turned off by veggies they’re unfamiliar with because they don’t know how to cook it. Well, don’t despair. Kale is actually very versatile and can be…

Tofu Stir Fry

Something I strongly encourage my clients to do is eat a variety of food. Having too much of anything isn’t good for anyone. So I myself try to change up my meals, and avoid eating the same type of food or source of protein every day of the week. Lately I’ve been trying to incorporate more vegetarian food into my…

Everything But The Kitchen Sink Soup

For the past few days I’ve been suffering from a terrible cold, to the point that I can’t smell or taste anything — awful for a foodie like me! And if you remember my post “Eat With Your Senses,” you’ll remember that your sense of smell is closely tied to your sense of taste, which lets you enjoy your food….

Healthy Frozen Dinners

As you know, I like to cook fresh, seasonal food as often as I can, but sometimes it’s just not possible. If I’m home alone or too tired to cook something up, my choices are either to order in or find something in the freezer. Both of these solutions can have their drawbacks when it comes to good nutrition, but…

Edamame Burgers

When making a party or dinner for friends, I always like to keep in mind what everyone eats so that there are enough choices for all my guests. These days people have all different types of eating patterns, so it can be a challenge to meet everyone’s needs. Vegetarians in particular are a very diverse group. Some types of vegetarians…

Seasonal Skewers

Hopefully yesterday’s post, Nutritioulicious Cocktail Parties, got you in the mood to do some cooking or throw a party yourself! As I mentioned, it’s important to have a variety of hors d’oeuvres to serve in order to give your guests nutritional balance. And to make these nutritional bites delicious, it’s great to use seasonal ingredients when possible. Luckily, summer is…

Nutritioulicious Cocktail Parties

This past weekend Andy and I hosted a small cocktail party for our friends. Since we both love to cook and love wine, there is nothing better than entertaining friends in our home! As a dietitian, I like to make sure my guests can fill their plates with a balance of protein, carbs, fruit, vegetables, and some healthy fat. In…

Chania Moussaka

Andy and I went to see Julie & Julia this morning, leaving us very inspired to cook this evening! With our latest CSA delivery of eggplants, green peppers, Swiss chard, and carrots, we decided to make a Greek favorite of ours. On our honeymoon, we visited Chania, a Greek city on the island of Crete. We were so impressed with…
