Start your morning with this Green Goddess Smoothie Bowl. 
Green Goddess Smoothie BowlI haven’t had the best luck lately. When I was bringing groceries into my apartment, my canvas bag strap broke and the eggs in my bag ended up all over the floor of my kitchen. Back to the store I went because I was shooting a video for my Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Muffins that day.

Then, you may have seen on Instagram that I ended up with 3 stitches on my finger this week.
@RDeliciousKitchen InstagramThursday, I was at Living Plate getting ready for a cooking class and washing a mandolin and accidentally sliced my finger. I headed to urgent care while two interns continued to prep for the class. These dietetic interns just started working with me and with my little accident, they saved the day! I got stitched up, headed back and the class was ready to go. The interns were rock stars! The class was ready to go and the class was a success!
Green Goddess Smoothie BowlSo maybe it really wasn’t a bad luck week, more like a clumsy week. Yes, I may have had my kerfuffle moments, but one thing that was consistently great this week, was breakfast. This Green Goddess Smoothie Bowl was enjoyed all week. I’ve been on a total smoothie kick lately and have been making this exact combo daily. I really do enjoy the act of eating smoothie bowls with a spoon. It helps practice mindful eating and you get to enjoy it for so much longer.
After every storm is a rainbow because I am now sitting on Lake Champlain with my bff’s in Vermont for the weekend. Girls weekend!

Serve up this fresh Spring Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette. Spring Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenThe big debate: Are you for fruit on a salad or against it? I am ALL about adding fruit to salad. I love that little sweet bite. While I know some others who are completely against it, arguing otherwise.

Why not get fruits and vegetables in all in one shot? Salads don’t have to be boring. Someone recently said to me, “Since you are a Registered Dietitian, you’re probably going to tell me to eat more salads right”? As a Registered Dietitian, I’ll encourage you to eat more fruits and vegetables, that may be in the form of salad, but in other ways as well. The problem is “salad” sounds so boring. Unfortunately, most often the first thought of salad is the boring romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and maybe a few slices of cucumber.
Spring Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_Kitchen
The key to building a delicious salad is variety. Don’t get stuck with the same combination. Try adding different textures. I like to add roasted vegetables on top of a bed of greens to add an extra pop of flavor. Every week I roast a large tray of vegetables. Throughout the week they get tossed on salads, mixed into a stir fry or scrambled with eggs. That one meal prep solution has been a weekly staple for me.
Spring Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_Kitchen
I had the most delicious raspberry vinaigrette at a restaurant and I recreated my version for this salad. The sweetness naturally comes from fresh raspberries and balanced with white wine vinegar. Salad dressings are surprisingly very easy to make. This dressing can last for about a week in the refrigerator. Just give it a gentle shake before using.

Yay or Nay? Fruit in Salad – This Spring Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette will make you say yay! @RD_Kitchen

Grilled Caesar Salad with Creamy Lemon Tahini Dressing - try grilling greens for a whole new salad experience via Chef Julie Harrington @ChefJulie_RD #salad #caesarsalad #vegan #vegetarian #caesar #plantbased #dressing #tahini #glutenfree

Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner, but it’s never too early to start firing up the grill. I’ve been all about the grilling scene in the blog world lately.

I started contributing to Luvo’s Fresh Blog and my first article was recently published – A Dietitian’s Guide to Building a Healthier Burger. Check out some nutritious tips for grilling burgers this summer.

Then, to my surprise, I was nominated for the Wayfair Healthy Gas Griller Recipe Award, featuring my Chipotle Lime Shrimp Tacos.

While both articles are more about the traditional grilling fare, I tried something a little different – grilling romaine lettuce. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. If you want to try grilling leafy greens, use sturdier greens like romaine, cabbage, etc.

The key to this Caesar salad is the toppings. Skip the croutons and top with plant-based fiber packed roasted chickpeas and add creaminess with avocado.

The real star is the dressing! This combination of lemon, hummus, tahini, and the secret ingredient cashews combines to create a thick and creamy dressing, minus the unwanted saturated fats and replacing them with heart-healthy unsaturated fats.

Happy Earth Day! There are so many food scraps that are often thrown out but can be repurposed into something new, just like this Parsley Stem Pesto.Parsley Stem Pesto over Roasted Asparagus via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_kitchenWith today being Earth Day, The Recipe ReDux members were challenged to show how to reduce food waste. Whatever you would normally toss, use it up! I use a lot of fresh herbs in my kitchen, but the stems usually end up in the trash, which is crazy because the stems actually have more of an intense flavor.Parsley Stem Pesto over Roasted Asparagus via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_kitchen
I loved this month’s theme because it got me thinking of the amount of food waste that tends to happen in my kitchen. So instead of tossing my parsley stems, I created a parsley stem pesto.Parsley Stem Pesto over Roasted Asparagus via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_kitchenThe typical herb to use in pesto is basil, but really any herb will do. Boy, do those stems have great flavor! The pesto is this intense green color with a fresh and flavorful zing to it.Parsley Stem Pesto over Roasted Asparagus via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_kitchenI also subbed pine nuts for walnuts. I tend to like my pesto a little thicker, so the walnuts are great for that. Plus, walnuts were what I had on hand and a great source of polyunsaturated fats!

This Broccoli Cauliflower Salad is light and refreshing, being a perfect addition to your spring menu.

Broccoli cauliflower salad with red onions and almonds in a white bowl

Now that the weather is finally warming up here in NJ, my cooking methods start to shift. Roasting is one of my favorite cooking methods for vegetables, but as the weather warms I begin to not use my oven as frequently.

cold broccoli and cauliflower salad with red onions

All winter long I’ve been on a roasted broccoli kick. Broccoli was on my shopping list every week. I am surprised I didn’t get sick of it after a while. This time when I grabbed the broccoli from the fridge, I knew I wanted to do something different.

Add this Broccoli Cauliflower Salad to your spring menu rotation.
Click To Tweet

Instead of roasting this head of broccoli, this time I steamed it. Steaming was never my favorite until I figured out how to perfectly steam broccoli to my liking. Before steamed veggies would always be a little blah and mushy. I like a good crunch to them. Now I gently steam them, then shock them to keep their crisp.

Culinary term: Shocking

“Shocking” is a culinary term that refers to a rapid change in temperature, usually caused by plunging the food into an ice bath.  It’s most often used with veggies that are being steamed or boiled.

Oh, don’t forget about the cauliflower. I steamed and shocked that too to keep some crunchy texture to those florets too. This salad is so refreshing and a perfect addition to your spring menu.

Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenWhenever I offer baked goods to my family and friends, they tend to be a little skeptical thinking that there is no way there is a “healthier” option that STILL tastes good. My dad’s famous words are “what’s in this” before he tries anything I make. My response is the typical eye roll with “JUST TRY IT!”. Even though my dad may question everything I make, he still always tries it. Making a flourless muffin that tastes as indulgent as dessert, this is one recipe no one will pass on. Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenFlourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_Kitchen

  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 oz. Everything Bagel Cabot Cheddar Cheese, sliced thin

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry the potatoes: Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry.
  2. Cut slits in the potatoes, leaving the bottom intact. (Cut slits into the potato, stopping just before you cut through so that the slices stay connected at the bottom of the potato)
  3. Place the potatoes in a baking dish. Brush the potatoes with olive oil, including the bottoms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake 30 minutes, then brush with olive oil again, making sure some of the olive oil drips down into the space between the slices.
  5. Bake for another 30 to 40 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and potatoes are fork tender.
  6. Remove from oven and carefully place slices of cheddar in between the slits. Bake for another 5 minutes until cheese has melted.
  7. Remove from oven and add Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend, a dollop of yogurt, and chives. Serve warm

Turn a classic into something a little fancier – The Ultimate PB&J

I was craving a classic PB&J this weekend, but with this challenge, I wasn’t just going to slather peanut butter and jelly on bread and call it a recipe, so I decided to add a little culinary twist to this classic for this RR challenge.

For a good PB&J (or any sandwich), make sure to start with hearty whole grain bread. Next, comes my favorite part, the peanut butter! I ran out of one of my favorites, Betsy’s Best, so I made my own version by mixing natural peanut butter with cinnamon and chia seeds. Then, topped with bruleed bananas, strawberries, and chopped peanuts, I’d say this is definitely gourmet compared your standard PB&J.

One thing the bagel shop introduced me to was smoked salmon or also known as lox. I still remember this one customer who always ordered – an everything bagel with cream cheese, lox, tomato, red onion, and capers. Of course, I had to try it.

Plus, baking it in the sheet pan makes it so easy to serve! Smoked Salmon and Dill Sheet Pan Frittata via Chef Julie Harrington, RD @ChefJulie_RD #smokedsalmon #salmon #breakfast #frittata #eggs #sheetpan #seafoodOften times the term lox and smoked salmon are used interchangeably, but there is a difference. Lox was traditionally only made from the belly of salmon. The salmon is salt-cured or brined but never cooked or even smoked. It has a very smooth silky texture. Smoked salmon is a much more generic term than lox. Smoked salmon can be made from any part of the fish, and it starts with salt curing or brining, just as in lox.

My fiance LOVES red onion. In my opinion a little too much. Now every time he makes tuna salad, I need to supervise because the last time he made it I think there was more red onion then actual tuna. It should have been called a red onion salad.

Quick Pickled Onions via Chef Julie Harrington @ChefJulie_RD #pickledonions #onions #pickling #fermentedfoods #topping #condiment #makeahead

While I do enjoy onions, raw onions are not always my favorite. I sometimes feel like they overpower a dish. Have you ever tried pickled onions instead? I now have been adding these tangy slices into my dishes to get more of a tangy red onion flavor instead that sharp and pungent red onion flavor that can take over the whole dish.

There are so many uses for pickled onions. Add to sandwiches, use as a condiment to top tacos or egg salad, or toss them into grain salads. Their tart and tangy flavor and their bright pink color will perk up any dish.

As the pickled onions continue to brine in the refrigerator, they will turn to vibrant pink in color. Make sure to store your pickled onions in a glass container (I used a mason jar). Most metals will react with vinegar and plastic will absorb the flavors. Plus, being able to see them is always a little reminder when I open my refrigerator to top my dishes with them.
