Happy Spring, everyone! I’m so sorry that I missed a post, but last week was extremely hectic with taking a field trip with all the other interns to visit the State Capitol in Sacramento, starting a new rotation and volunteering for National Nutrition Month. The workload is piling up and I’m starting to feel the […]
Happy Monday, everyone! Here’s another great addition to my weekly meal preps. Quinoa is packed with sufficient carbs, substantial protein and even fiber. Can’t go wrong with adding herbed quinoa to your meals. It’s great when you get a little bored of the old brown rice or sweet potato routine to get your carbs in. […]
Happy Monday, everyone! This salmon quinoa pasta recipe was adapted from Spark People. I was looking for a pasta salad type of dish with the addition of salmon instead of tuna as I typically see it. Someone brought in a salmon quinoa pasta to work last year and I thought it was such a great […]
I love basil and basil pesto, especially! Basil pesto is such a versatile addition to any dish. The great thing about making basil pesto is that it isn’t uptight like the other recipes. All nuts and cheeses are accepted; you can easily whip up some pesto with substitutes if you don’t have pine nuts and romano […]

I feel that I’ve been very productive lately, organizing more nutrition topics I want to cover in future postings. I have so much […]
Ever since National Girlfriend Day (not a real holiday) when JJ and I got the chance to have dinner at Beverly Hills Crustacean this past summer, we’ve been talking about remaking Chef An’s famous Vietnamese garlic noodles. Finally, I decided to attempt the recipe and make it for Friendsgiving this year. Although, it may not be the exact recipe as […]
Here’s a simple, easy recipe to help incorporate more vegetables into your meals! The saying is “make half your plate veggies and fruits,” but occasionally you can double the vegetables (watery vegetables are best) if fruit doesn’t quite fit into your meal. Potatoes are considered the starch portion of the meal, so don’t confuse potatoes (and corn) […]
