Monday was the official first day of spring and the weather is finally starting to warm up! Let’s just hope it stays that way!
Besides the warm weather, I’ve noticed a few other changes in the air as spring begins….
Main Dish
One Pot Vegan Potato Skillet
Lately life has been especially busy around here.
One of my New Year’s resolutions was to start going to the gym before work instead of after. While it sounds easy enough in theory, it means waking up at 4 am every morning to squeeze in a quick workout before leaving for work at 6:30….
Colorful Stir-Fry with Creamy Peanut Sauce
When I was 14, I started going to a dietitian. During the first six months or so into my eating disorder recovery, I made the visit every other week to see her, usually equipped with my diet recall in hand.
I still remember her advice to me, and it’s something I’ve carried into my own career as a dietitian–and my own everyday life….
Summer Veggie Spiral Tart
For me, food is 50% about the taste and 50% about the presentation.
Now, I’ll admit that some of my absolute favorite foods don’t look so great on the plate—and that’s putting it nicely.
Indian food, for example, is one of my absolute favorites…but it takes some good lighting and about 1,000 different shots to get one that does it justice.
Conversely, some of the most beautiful dishes simply don’t taste as good as they look. In fact, I had to make ratatouille a few times before I realized that I don’t actually like it all that much…I just liked looking at it!
Finding a good middle ground can be tricky. But anytime I find a recipe that strikes that perfect balance between taste and presentation, I get pretty excited to share it.
Well, today I have a recipe that is both super tasty and a serious stunner on the dinner table.
Not only that, but it’s packed with healthy ingredients that make it a rock star in terms of nutrition.

There are people everywhere, touching everything, and spreading all kinds of germs all over the place. On a daily basis, I find myself packed into subways, stairs, and streets with strangers from all over the world….
