Monika The Dietitian Authentic lifestyle and health shifts through Intuitive Eating, Plant-centric eating and tending to I'm a big picture, deep layers kind of dietitian.

I'm interested in seeing all the aspects of food and eating, working out the whole messy puzzle in order to find a flow state, so to speak. Having gone to Medical School (took a leave of absence and moved to Japan without finishing), then through graduate school in Classics (Greek and Roman studies, mostly) I'm a mind-wide-open, curious, and experimental professional interested in connecting mind-body AND spirit, through food!

It can sometimes be tricky to find a protein for a rushed meal, but it's so important for appetite control, blood sugar/insulin stability, and just to meet your daily protein needs.

This is a recipe I often suggest because it can be made quickly for the week and added to almost anything (plus it's plant-based and adds diversity):

*Mix into saucy stir-fries or pasta dishes; layer atop salads and pizzas; fold into wraps and slice into sandwiches*

Oh! and it's also one of the tastiest ways I've found to have tofu!

VERSATILE BAKED TOFU
1 block extra firm tofu . 1 Tbsp light soy or tamari sauce . 1 Tbsp honey . 1 Tbsp any vinegar . 1 Tbsp tomato paste . 1/2 tsp dried rosemary (optional)

Marinate and bake!

I love a little fun crunch at breakfast (which for me is yogurt + fruit + nuts), but commercial granola is heavier on sugar and fats than I would like.

So I’ve come up with this granola recipe with just the slightest touch of sweetness and no added fats.

12 dried apricots . 1/2 cup boiling water . 1 tbsp vanilla extract. 1/2 tsp cinnamon . 1/8 tsp clove . 1/8 tsp nutmeg . 3 cups rolled oats

So you thought it was a choice between raw or roasted, didn’t you?

Allow me to introduce you to the TOASTED almond.

Wait till you smell it cooking :)

TOASTED almonds are both the tastiest and the healthiest option.

There's no better food source of vitamin E and most people I work with do not get enough of this potent antioxidant.

Toasted almonds are even higher in vitamin E than raw almonds.

As for the recipe, it couldn't be easier:
https://www.monikathedietitian.com/recipes

-> Warm a DRY stainless steel or cast iron pan on LOW heat (NO OIL).

-> Add raw almonds to the pan in a single layer (don’t overload).

-> Let them toast for 2-5 minutes then use a spoon to stir them up and use the back of the spoon to flatten them into a single layer again.

-> stir a few times to bronze on all sides and cool on a cutting board

So smoky, crunchy, and meal-enhancing
(while boosting your Vitamin E status!)
