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 9yr Funny you say that, I *just* ate a giant bowl of roasted kale sprouts for dinner! -
marynfulton2 9yr Mine is some kind of stir-fry. Leftover grain, tofu/chickpea/egg, whatever veggies are in the fridge, and rice vinegar, tamari, ginger, and sriracha (all staples in my fridge) topped with cashews, of course! -
DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr Best fast dinner - sautéed edamame, greens, and garlic topped with a pouched egg, hot sauce, and hummus or avocado. -
darkchocolatepeanutbutter 9yr Recently into brown rice and millet ramen made with miso, edamame, mushrooms, kale, broccoli and a dash of Sriracha! -
serveMEnow 9yr This is going to sound weird but I've made this more than a few times: cooked brown rice noodles tossed in bragg's aminos, sesame oil, raw kale, and roasted Brussels, placed in a sauté pan, I then crack an egg over it all. I throw it under the broiler until the egg whites have been set and the noodles a bit toasted. An upgrade from the college ramen meal days. 😂 -
Udi 9yr Sautee some Kale with Olive Oil. Chop up some other veggies, I usually have tomato, maybe a pepper. Chop up a sausage too. Throw it all in the frying pan. Can add a piece of toast if hungry. Super quick and easy. -
Gwendolyn 9yr Roast trout with sautéed balsamic radicchio. 10 minutes and you're done.

mirasingh 9yr Oh I love this! I end up making lots of quick prep time dinners. Sometimes I come how a throw some lentils, chopped greens, tomatoes, spices and a little rice into a steam cooker and come back in a half hour for a mushy hearty dinner. It takes about 30 minutes to cook, but prep time is only 5 minutes -
tinabeans 9yr Amazing suggestions all! I'm fascinated with the prominence of Asian ingredients and the lack of meat amongst all the replies! Food for thought for sure. -
gingerandchorizo 9yr My favorite are rice bowl of some sort: topped with tofu, nori, kimchi, egg, any veggie in the fridge for a quick stir-fry. Or on noodle soup :)) I have some rice bowl recipes on my blog, check it out if you need idea!
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...
