Before I talk about this recipe, I have to share some exciting news! Nutritious Eats is moving to Seattle, Washington!! We will be there in less than 3 months and will hopefully get settled into our new home right away. When it’s time for a new job in the military it can often be a…
Chocolate Oatmeal and the Benefits of Soluble Fiber
Boy this hits the spot when you have a chocolate craving. I’ve become a little obsessed with mixing things into my oatmeal. I replaced my favorite pumpkin oatmeal with this chocolate oatmeal. The best part is that as rich as it looks and tastes, the spoonful of cocoa powder only adds 10 calories and zero…
Black Bean, Corn & Poblano Tacos
I don’t think a recipe like this would have appealed to me as much if I wasn’t eating vegan for the month, but I made it a couple weeks ago and it will definitely stick around in my meal rotation. This can be vegan or vegetarian depending on whether you want the cheese and sour…
Spaghetti Squash with Tomatoes, Olives and Feta
I often like something I’ve made for dinner, but haven’t the time to photograph it properly to include it on the blog. Well here is to being far less-than perfect. I snapped these images with my iphone and they are just going to have to do! I’ve been buying a lot of squash lately and…
Roasted Salsa Verde
I was doing my weekly shopping at the commissary a couple weeks ago and took a lot of extra time in the produce section preparing for vegan month. I walked right into this display for salsa ingredients- jalapenos, garlic, cilantro, tomatillos. It immediately inspired me to make salsa verde. If you’ve never used tomatillos don’t…
Simple Nutritious Side: Butternut Squash Fries
So in my attempt to stock the kitchen full of produce to make my vegan meals last week….I over-bought. Trouble with fresh produce- it doesn’t last that long! So each night I’d have to decide which had to go next (by the looks of it’s ripeness). I had great intentions for my butternut squash- soup,…
Tofu & Green Bean Stir-Fry with Peanut Sauce
Crispy Tofu and Vegetable Stir-Fry with a delicious Peanut Sauce is a great vegan meal! I love diet lifestyle experiments and I am going to try eating vegan for a month. It’s good for me as a Registered Dietitian to have an idea of what it’s like to be a vegetarian or vegan. The vegan…
Easy Black Bean Burgers
“Beans, beans, they’re good for your heart…” Sorry, I can’t not think of that song when talking about beans. I don’t eat a ton of veggie burgers, but I do really like them. Like I’ve said time and time again, I am always trying to make stuff from scratch to cut down on unnecessary preservatives,…
Spicy Lime-Cilantro Slaw
I successfully completed my week of going vegan and actually enjoyed it. I discovered some tasty new vegetarian dishes and was much more aware of what I was eating. On the other hand, I really missed the flexibility of my typical “diet” and of course sweets like my favorite chocolate chip cookies. We ended the…
Hummus & Avocado Veggie Sandwich
Meet my new favorite sandwich- it’s not just vegetarian, it’s vegan and it’s delicious. I am on day 4 of my week long adventure eating vegan. Occasionally (and I mean occasionally) I like to try out a different diet (or rather way of eating) just to get a better understanding of what my clients on restrictive…
