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 🥗

We’ve been snacking on kiwi around here 🥝 so had to share this quick video again!

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

The drizzle makes all the difference🍯😍

We know plain Greek yogurt offers gut health benefits but I personally can’t eat it by itself 🙅🏻‍♀️ And really, we can maximize the nutritional benefits of this snack or breakfast option by pairing it with other foods 🙌🙌

This little yogurt parfait is providing probiotics + protein + satiating fats from the Greek yogurt, fiber + antioxidants from the fruit 🫐🍌, and a hint of sweet from 🍯 to make it all taste delicious together! For crunch, sometimes I add a little bit of granola or nuts.

Do you enjoy plain Greek yogurt? What are your favorite toppings to add to it?

Food, friends, and (fun) learning—that’s what the Today’s Dietitian Symposium was filled with! It’s always great to reconnect with colleagues & friends in-person and to meet new ones 🤗

A few event highlights & session takeaways:

🌴Meeting @joybauer at the @lacroixwater tropical party & watching her on stage as she shared two refreshing recipes

🍕The best pizza party EVER with @danawhitenutrition @cookinrd and Chris Mohr.

🐝 Learning about honey bees @epcot_center with @nationalhoneyboard, and trying several dishes from the Honey Bee-Stro during the annual Flower & Garden Festival 🍯 You can thank bees for every meal you eat! Every 3rd bite of food we take is thanks to pollinators 🐝🦋

💫Trying new products in the Expo & picking up some of my favorite dietitian conference finds like @sunsweetgrowersinc prunes (yes, we all get excited about these!), new-to-me flavors of @goultima , and trying a tasty recipes and samples at the @cawalnuts booth, @lifewaykefir & @wonderfulpistachios

🤓 Excellent educational sessions, as always at TDSS 👏 From @patriciabannan & @minddietmeals —we learned about nutrition & lifestyle habits to help support cognitive resilience 🧠

FIBER was a hot topic with so much great research to support the benefits of including ALL fiber foods (fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, nuts & seeds) daily 🍓🍞🥗🥑🫘

👩🏻‍🍳 Wellness is a top priority for most people but Americans continue to fall short of recommended intakes of fruits, vegetables, whole grains. This is for a # of reasons but one of those reasons is knowing HOW to prepare these foods in a way that is DELICIOUS & repeatable. This is where culinary nutrition education comes in! I’m so excited to see more programs and dietitians in this space to teach the practical skills!

🫐 @yourhairnutritionist & @gettheskine did an excellent job presenting about the connection between dermatology, nutrition, and chronic disease. The skin tells us so much! They shared common dermatological signs associated with PCOS, menopause, and type 2 diabetes, and functional foods to support each.

Thanks to the @todaysdietitian team for another top-notch Symposium!

Last week, we went camping in @visitbrowncounty and the temps were a bit cool & we had some rainy 🌧️ weather. But that doesn’t stop us from making delicious meals!

I packed @kevins.natural.foods Teriyaki Beef (#giftedsample) along for the trip and some frozen quinoa/rice blend so we could make a quick stir fry. The Teriyaki Beef is so flavorful and tender—no need to add any additional seasonings or sauces! We just added some zucchini, carrots, and onion 🧅 to balance out the meal 🍽️

Dinner in < 10 minutes….10/10 will make again (whether at home or in our camper!).

Attended my first Food Health LIVE event this week

Attended my first Food Health LIVE event this week, which brings leaders in healthcare, policy, retail and technology together to learn & discuss how food can improve health outcomes and reduce risk of chronic disease. This really got my wheels turning 🧠💭 —such great conversation and very motivating to see what’s new and what’s coming in this space!

It made me so happy to see several dietitians speaking at the event too—from the @mayoclinic, @delta, and @giant

So appreciative of @cookunity for the invitation to attend this event and their session, Balancing Nutrition in the Age of GLP-1. We also watched a fun culinary demo from chef @hongthaimee 🔪 I’m going to make her Chicken Satay Quinoa Bowl at home!

We were able to try the CookUnity GLP-1 collection of meals which are protein-forward and nutritionally optimized. I tried the Sriracha Honey-Glazed Salmon Bites with Kale Crunch Salad and it had great flavor 👏

While the meals were from a ‘specialized’ menu for GLP-1, I don’t think most people realized it and were very satisfied with the flavor and variety. Proof that eating well or following a specific diet doesn’t have to be bland or boring! With some cooking knowledge, you can enjoy good-for-you foods & meals 🍽️
