I am currently in my Professional Development rota

I am currently in my Professional Development rotation and totally loving it! 🥰This is an elective rotation that allows me to schedule experiences that are in line with my career interests. Today, I developed a “Zesty Edamame Salad” recipe with fresh dill, carrots and red bell pepper for a cooking demonstration that I‘m presenting to older adults with @tyffanieammeter this Friday! 😊 The presentation is going to emphasize the importance of high protein foods for this patient population. This easy, plant-based protein recipe is a great fit for the audience, and I’m so excited to share it with them! Additionally, since many older adults choose to be mindful of the amount of salt they consume for health purposes, I designed this salad to be naturally low in sodium. The salad gets its zesty flavor from lemon juice and Dijon mustard, not salt itself 🤭. Using acidic/vinegary additions in place of table salt is a great hack for cutting back on sodium! 😊#edamamesalad #recipetesting #proteinsalad #easysalad #olderadultnutrition #olderadults #cookingdemonstration #professionaldevelopment #dietetics #healthy #food #blog #theartsypalate #nutrition #recipe #foodblog #healthyfood #nutritionwriter #writer #blogger #intuitiveeating #antidiet #meatlessmonday #vegetarian #dieteticintern #healthyrecipes #kosherrecipes #rd2be #futurerd #futuredietitian

Featuring a meal that sums up my week: a haphazard

Featuring a meal that sums up my week: a haphazard set of fridge leftovers thrown together in a way that somehow looks presentable. My to-do lists this week were quite long, and next week is looking similar 🙃🙈. If you’re also just barely hanging on, I’m right there with you. On that note, Happy Friday, friends! The weekend is near 🙏🏻.

To make this dish, sauté leftover veggies in a pan. Any leftover veggies you have will do. Carve out two wells, and drop two eggs into the pan. Season with spices and/or herbs of choice. Let it all cook until eggs reach desired doneness. Add some avocado, since that’s always a nice touch. Enjoy with a slice of whole wheat bread.

Isn't it amazing how discovering one ingredient can inspire a whole recipe? On a recent Whole Foods run, I came across a package of yellow lentil and brown rice lasagna pasta, which inspired this Protein Lasagna. This lasagna with vodka sauce, spinach and basil is seriously protein-packed – it also contains silken tofu and cottage cheese. 😌 It also happens to be #glutenfree. This highly-requested recipe is now posted to my blog – catch the link in my bio under "Protein Lasagna."😋

Since there are some new faces around here, I figured it would be nice to do a quick introduction ☺️. Welcome, everyone! My name is Dena, and I’m the face behind all of this food 🙃. Here are some facts about me:
.
👩🏻‍⚕️I am a dietetic intern, recipe developer, freelance writer, editor, certified barre instructor and #nutritionnerd. I’m on track to becoming a registered dietitian, and I’m very excited about it 🥳.
.
🎓I’m currently completing my dietetic internship with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City #nypnutrition. I graduated from the University of Maryland in May 2020 (on my living room couch 😂 #covidgrad) with a B.S. in Dietetics and a B.A. in Journalism. It was a lot of work (179 credits worth, to be exact😱), but I learned a ton, and I’m glad I powered through! Go terps! 🐢
.
🥑 My favorite food is avocado. I also really like chocolate (no, not together with avocado 😖), and when I’m really tired, I have a tendency to crave oranges 🍊. Random, I know.
.
✡️ I am Jewish, and I follow a kosher diet. I am also a pescatarian. Both of these elements inspire my recipes and content!
.
🍭 I strongly believe that ALL foods fit. This is an #antidiet page, and you won’t find any talk about restricting food groups, counting calories, fasting or “cleansing” here ✌🏻. I know it may be confusing that I’m a future dietitian against diets, but follow along and learn what I believe “healthy” truly means (hint: it has to be sustainable for the long term!). This is a space for EVIDENCE-BASED information. No fake news or extreme approaches will be found here! 👋🏻🚫
.
❓Have nutrition questions? I’d love to help you! Feel free to message me at any point – I’d love to connect and help you in whatever way I can! I‘d also love to hear if you try any of my recipes! 😋
.
💕 I’d love to get to know you! Share a fun fact about yourself below! ⬇️
