Looking for local, healthy restaurant fare nearby?

If you are out and about in the greater Boston area, check out one of the  b.good restaurant locations. This chain, whose tag line is "real.food.fast", offers burgers and sandwiches, kale and grain bowls, salads, smoothies, and kids' meals. The ingredients are sourced in New England, and the food tastes homemade.

I tried the Beverly location last month, which was my first
experience with b.good. I had the spicy avocado and lime bowl with the super grain mix, which is pictured here. I wish the picture did this dish justice! Each ingredient tasted so fresh and "real." I went back to try additional items, but just wanted this bowl again!

The walls of the restaurant are decorated with pictures of the farmers who provide the ingredients. It is a pleasure to see the fresh produce on display in the prep area. I hope that you will give this eatery a try!

​Eat healthy carbs. This advice is often given to athletes and couch potatoes alike, but sometimes it is hard to know which carbohydrates to choose. Fall is a great time to enjoy your healthy carbs in the form of roasted vegetables, which are loaded with vitamins, minerals and fiber. Popular and nutritious vegetables for roasting include:
  • Beets – good source of folate
  • Brussels sprouts – good source of vitamins C and K
  • Carrots – good source of vitamins A and C
  • Onions – contain bioflavonoid anti-oxidants and allicin (anti-tumor compound)
  • Parsnips – good source of Vitamins C and K and fiber
  • Potatoes (skin on) – good source of vitamins B, C, folate, and niacin and potassium
  • Rutabagas – good source of vitamin C
  • Sweet potatoes – good source of vitamins A,B6 and C and potassium
  • Turnips – contain vitamin C
  • Winter squash – good source of vitamin A

An apple a day...

​In my recipe box is a mimeographed recipe attached with yellowed tape to a file card. It is the first recipe that was “mine,” and it comes from my seventh grade home economics class way back in 1967! When the ripe apples arrive each fall, this Apple Crisp recipe still gets the call to spice up our meals.
 
Apples are a consumer friendly fruit. They are convenient to carry around for snacks and lunches.
In the refrigerator they store and keep well, and they will even stay fresh for a day or so in a fruit bowl at room temperature. A wide variety of preparations are possible from salads to desserts to side dishes.
Two of the ways I like to use apples as a side dish are:

What do Registered Dietitians eat on vacation? I recently made a trip with 5 friends from my dietetic internship and thought it was interesting to see some trends. This trip started out with a car trip to our central destination, Pipestem State Park in southern West Virginia. From there we did long day trips to Beckley and to the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs. Based on my observations of how this group of RD’s (pictured at right in front of the Greenbrier) combined vacation fun and healthy eating principles, here are 4 tips for eating well on vacation.

One of the food highlights of summer is fresh strawberries. With their glossy red color and juicy sweetness, ripe strawberries are a treat for the eyes and the palate! They are also full of nutrition benefits. One cup of sliced fresh strawberries has just 55 calories, but provides over 100% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin C and more than 3 grams of fiber.
