2013 was a busy year. The first eight months were dominated by my internship, followed by studying for and taking the Registered Dietitian exam (I passed! woo hoo!), and settling in to my role as a clinical dietitian at both the hospital and an eating disorder clinic. During the midst of all that, I somehow … Read more
Dinner/Mains
Tofu Pan-Fried Rice
I’m not big on new year’s resolutions, but as we start the new year, I do have one goal that I’d like to work on during the coming months. I’d like to take the flavors of my sauces to a higher level. I hope to learn about new flavors and ingredients and experiment with ways … Read more
Caramelized Brussel Sprouts and Cabbage Pasta
What to make for dinner isn’t always an easy question to answer. As a dietitian, I think cooking at home is one of the best (and really, easiest) ways to help meet your nutrition goals. Whether you need to watch your intake of specific nutrients or ingredients, or you’re looking to improve your health or … Read more
Roasted Potato & Garlic Soup
A few years ago, my dad gave me an immersion blender for Christmas. It was a fabulous gift, and if you’re doing last-minute Christmas shopping, I would recommend it. This soup is a classic, and I love the combination of the depth of the roasted garlic and the earthiness of the potatoes. I’m keeping this … Read more
Crisp Vegetables & Pasta Smothered with Satay Sauce
Would it surprise anyone to know that my fall has been filled with quick, simple dinners that translate well into leftovers that I can tote to work or school the next day? Life has been intensely busy with school, work at the clinic, and wedding planning. Most of it has been challenging and fun, but … Read more
Stuffed Poblano Peppers with Chorizo & Avocado
I thought I’d share this recipe for stuffed poblano peppers as a follow-up to my post on what to do with all the extra cilantro I had on hand from making Southwestern-inspired dinners. Although it was an absurd idea to roast stuffed peppers in the oven in the middle of July, that’s exactly what I … Read more
Spaghetti with Cilantro-Peanut Pesto
I’ve been on a bit of a Southwestern kick lately. Over the last year, I’ve made more and more dishes that involve the classic combination of cilantro, lime, corn, tomatoes, and beans. Part of it has to do with the fact that so many of the things you can make with a Southwestern bent are … Read more
Red Lentil Dal with Asparagus with Perfect Roasted Potatoes
This August, I’ll be coming up on the 1-year benchmark for posting regularly on this blog. I actually started the blog a year earlier, in 2010, but it took awhile to find my rhythm and figure out what I actually wanted this space to be. It took another three months or so to figure out … Read more
Shrimp & Mango Tacos
Over the weekend, one of my favorite websites, Food52.com, won the James Beard Award for Publication of the year for their cookbook, a compilation of winners from their community cooking contests. I’ve used their contest themes for inspiration before, one of which was selected as a Community Pick on their site (pretty exciting, I thought). … Read more
Bacon & Eggs Risotto
We’ve been basking in gorgeous 70-degree weather for the past couple of days in Boston, and I’ve been enjoying everything that comes with it: drinks outside on a sunny patio, the return of Boston’s bike share program, and commuting to school along the Charles river. But the weather’s dipped back down to the mid-40s and … Read more
