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! ⬇️

Seasoned with coriander, cumin, ginger and curry powder, this Spiced Carrot Soup has all of those smokey, earthy, sweet-meets-spicy flavors that are so comforting in the colder months. I added a can of coconut milk to this recipe to add some extra richness and dimension to this velvety-smooth, beta carotene-rich soup (beta carotene is converted into vitamin A in your body!). Let’s bring on the vitamin A this week! 🥕🥕🥕 Recipe is posted to my blog and linked in my bio under “Spiced Carrot Soup.”
.
.
I love making soups over the weekend to enjoy throughout the week. Even if you are not a “meal-prep person,” stocking your fridge with even one homemade item such as a soup can help you be nutritionally successful this week. Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you are all nutritionally successful this week, in whatever way that looks like to you! 💪🏻😊

Today I received my first dose of the COVID-19 vac

Today I received my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine! 😊 If you are ready to be done with COVID too (aren't we all?!), then I highly recommend that you get #vaccinated when the opportunity becomes available to you!
.
.
Although getting the COVID vaccine was optional for dietetic interns in my program, I got vaccinated because I want my life back, to put it briefly. There are so many things that COVID has robbed us of during this past year, and I'm ready for this virus-induced "new normal" to be a thing of the past. I miss being able to get together with family and friends without having to worry about whether or not someone will get sick. I miss walking outside and feeling the cold winter air on my face. I miss traveling freely. I miss the spontaneity that a COVID-less world allowed us – ranging from spontaneous trips to the grocery store (remember when there was no line outside of Trader Joe's?!) to last-minute meet-ups with friends to other little things that can't and don't happen in COVID times. These are just a few of the things that I miss from pre-COVID times – there are many many more where these came from. I am also of course so sad for all of those who lost family and friends as a result of this virus. It is truly heartbreaking.
.
.
I chose to get vaccinated today for my health (and my life), as well as that of my family, my friends, my community, my patients and others. I chose to get vaccinated because I trust the science, which supports the fact that the vaccine is safe and extremely effective. We need our lives back, and by getting vaccinated, you are choosing to replace the COVID-induced "new normal" with what *actually* is normal. You are choosing togetherness over isolation – in more than just a physical sense. You are taking a *literal* shot for yourself, but also one for the team. I urge you to take the opportunity to get vaccinated when it presents itself to you. We all need to be in this together for herd immunity to result and for normalcy to return🤍. #covidvaccine #covid19 #vaccinated #theartsypalate #dieteticintern #dietetics #nutrition #nutritionwriter #recipedeveloper #blogger #nutritionblogger
