Approachable bites for real life
This was a super simple meal to throw together that packs big flavor. The coconut curry is rich and creamy. The Mae Ploy curry paste is packed with flavor (although it does contain shrimp paste) that pairs great with just a hint of sweet. It was a super satisfying dish and I’m excited to have…
Well it has been a hot minute since my last post… Big news is that we had a baby in July 2022, which has been an absolute joy, and has also taken up most of my energy. Baby has now become a toddler (that happened so fast!), and I’m experiencing all the challenges of feeding…
This Lemon Herb Tofu has become a fan favorite at Thanksgiving. We’ve been perfecting it over the past several years and this year, BIL was good enough to weigh out all the ingredients so we know exactly how we like it. This tofu is super lemony from the addition of preserved lemon. You can use…
Easy to make, with a subtle pumpkin flavor these drop scones are moist and tender with just a hint of sweetness on their own. But with a cinnamon glaze, these go from subtly delicious to fall-flavored scrumptious. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or afternoon snack. These scones are a great…
This sheet pan teriyaki tofu is one of those simple, adaptable recipes that’ll definitely be on repeat in my house. I’m always talking about the benefits of soy foods, it’s a great plant-based protein. There is some research indicating that soy foods may decrease risk of lung cancer in non-smokers, decrease risk of prostate cancer,…
Another presentation I gave a few weeks ago focused on myth busting. There’s unfortunately a ton of nutrition myths and misinformation making the world of nutrition very confusing. In this video I talk about some of the common misconceptions that I commonly hear about at work. While some of these are more focused on cancer,…
Working as an oncology dietitian is incredibly rewarding. I meet amazing people on a daily basis and get to talk about managing symptoms from treatment, ways to maximize intake when they might not be feeling well, and how to navigate nutrition with everything else. I also get to work with survivors that have been cancer…
This is a great dip for your next get together. Similar to hummus, this white bean and feta dip has protein and fiber, making it more filling and satisfying, and a great punch of flavor. I used dill for this, but a variety of herbs would work well with this. I served this as a…
I’ve been eyeing this Miso Peanut Butter Cookie recipe for a while. I usually have a tub of white miso in my refrigerator and don’t go through it very quickly and was intrigued by such a savory flavor in cookies. So when Sister was planning a visit home, I knew it was the perfect time…
Donburi is a Japanese dish that we ate often when growing up. While donburi is really a category of dishes, meaning served over rice (gyudon with beef, oyakodon with chicken and egg); growing up Mom would always make it with ground beef, vegetables and egg. For more traditional recipes, I love Just One Cookbook. I’m…
