SimplySeema 9yr You could make some Dhaal - curried red lentils! (Boil 1c red lentils in 2c water for 15 or so mins until cooked, then add in some tomato sauce, turmeric, black pepper, sea salt, handful of chopped onion & 1-2 chopped garlic in medium heat, stir and taste, add anything else you'd like, then serve) I love having a cup of dhaal on a cold day. -
DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr Second the daal reco. Im also a big fan of savory oatmeal or upma https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=auKaz5fuHHM -
JenniferEmilson 9yr Veggie chillies are always great as well. Good fibre, taste, and the amount of spice you add can warm you from the inside out!! -
tinabeans 9yr Thanks for the replies!! I'll have to look into this upma biz... mmm! -
DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr Yea definitely give it a try. It's great with any veggies so you can make it as nutritious as you want
What is your quick go-to dinner?
Mine is whatever veggies are in the fridge + salt + olive oil + heat. Or toss raw veg in some kind of sauce. Yay sides for dinner!

lauren Funny you say that, I *just* ate a giant bowl of roasted kale sprouts for dinner!

DietID_TeamDietitians Best fast dinner - sautéed edamame, greens, and garlic topped with a pouched egg, hot sauce, and hummus or avocado.
Food friends! How do you talk to non-food friends about meat?
I like to cook large hunks of (humanely raised) meat for celebratory gatherings (a consequence of my Chinese upbringing- rarely cook meat otherwise). But I always find myself stymied as to how to t...

DietID_TeamDietitians Great question! I usually bring it up as a part of explaining the menu including where the veggies came from, so it's not a political statement but rather just a statement of fact. Sometimes I...

tinabeans Great points all around @Rachna! Usually i just bring food to the table and let all have at it! But marking the start of the meal in a more intentional way may be in order :)

DietID_TeamDietitians Yea but @akhilg2002 would know if I sound preachy... I might! :/
Giving this paleo thing a try.
I think paleo might just be a secret conspiracy to eat more interesting things... if you can't fill your plate with a staple starch, it forces you to get creative with the veg!
What do you think are the biggest issues in food today?
Is it in food production? Distribution? Access? Waste? Consumer education? Legislation? Something else entirely? Would love to hear what you guys think.

katewilson I'm voting food waste but I'm thrilled to see how much efforts are being put behind it now

darkchocolatepeanutbutter I still feel the dietary guidelines are inadequate. If the USDA could consider the public over corporations, we'd have better direction.

sugardetoxme It's two parts for me. Food waste is obviously huge. If good food was about actually feeding people then we wouldn't have hunger, but food has become a business. But let's also talk about the big...
