Hello everyone and happy April! This is one of my favorite months because the sun finally starts poking its head out every once in a while, it’s finally nice enough to do things outside again, and some of my favorite fruits and veggies start to come back in season….

Vegan Sweet Potato Nachos
It’s been a rough week here, mostly because I came down with a nasty respiratory infection over the weekend that kept me home sick from work and left me with a painful ear infection 🙁 Not fun.
On the bright side, I did get to binge watch Netflix, take lots of naps, and eat my weight in comfort food. So while I can’t really complain, I do have to admit that I’m excited that this week is already halfway over….
Vegan Rosemary Mini Frittatas
Breakfast has pretty much always been my favorite meal of the day.
Some might consider it a problem that I go to sleep already thinking about breakfast the next day, but I like to think that I just have a healthy enthusiasm for eating ;)…
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.
