Have you seen the viral cottage cheese + pasta tre Have you seen the viral cottage cheese + pasta trend taking over social media? As a dietitian, I love seeing people get creative with dairy! 🧀 🥛 

Cottage cheese is an absolute powerhouse for adding creamy texture, satisfying protein, and essential nutrients without needing heavy cream. But I wanted to take the trend to step further by creating a recipe that hits the trifecta: maximum flavor + nutrient-dense veggies + quick meal prep 💯 

The result: Cheesy Protein Veggie Pasta 🍝 

I created this recipe for @thedairyalliance website & would love to know if you give it a try! Comment ‘recipe’ and I’ll send the link 🔗 How are you using cottage cheese lately?

brb…taking a mini vacation during lunch 😎 This i brb…taking a mini vacation during lunch 😎 

This is a reminder to take a step away during the work day for lunch and create a meal that excites & nourishes you! 

For me recently, it’s been this Mediterranean-inspired plate with fresh mozz + 🍅 and basil drizzled with @cobramestateusa EVOO (it’s delicious & high-quality). Then I added some olives, gigante beans, and marinated artichokes + garlic sourdough toast. 

Eating outside on summer days is my favorite ❤️ I usually try to leave my phone indoors so I’m not tempted to look at it while eating and instead just enjoy the mental break to recharge. Just like a mini vacation during lunch 😊 

Who’s with me for lunch hour mini vacations and what’s on your plate that transports you to another place? I wanna hear!
Welcome to the NO MORE BORING SALAD CLUB 🥗 Growin Welcome to the NO MORE BORING SALAD CLUB 🥗

Growing up, we didn’t eat many salads at home and if we did, it was usually a pre-mixed iceberg salad mix + a few tomatoes & ranch dressing. So for a long time, I really didn’t go for salads because they weren’t enjoyable for me. 

This is my way of building salads now—swapping out different proteins & add-ins depending on what we have on hand and cravings. Like tonight, we’re making a similar salad but with steak 🥩 🤤 

I was reading a @reddit thread about different, more exciting names for salads to help them seem more enticing…would love to hear if you have any suggestions! My favorite from the thread is ‘Loaded Green Bowl’ because that is absolutely my goal when making entree-sized salads 🥗

Cut, scoop, and enjoy 🕺🏻 No need to remove the peel with a knife, which ends up wasting a lot of that delicious kiwi! Or, if you’re up for it, just bite into a kiwi with the peel on for a boost of fiber. It’s safe to eat (obvs wash it first) 🥝 

Have you tried the Sungold or Ruby Red kiwis yet? 💛❤️💚 so fun that we can enjoy all the colors
