GREEN EATING + GREEN LIVING | This morning’s breakfast calls for a big bouquet of flowers and the season's fresh fall berries. Do you eat with the seasons? . I didn't grow up eating seasonally. In fact, even when I was studying to become a dietitian I didn't think much about how food is grown or raised, or how important my role as a food consumer is in the food system. It wasn't until I began working in the food and culinary industry that I became passionate living more sustainably and making simple changes to my lifestyle to eat, travel, and live green. . Moving forward there will a shift in the content on Fork in the Road. The simple seasonal recipes and pretty pictures will stay, but I'll also be diving deeper into green living and how YOU can make simple habit changes that will have a big impact on not only your health, but also the health of the planet. . I can't wait to share more with you all! But first, let me know what YOU want to know about living a greener lifestyle. Where are you rocking it? Where do you need help? I'm excited to share more with you soon! . . . . . . #eattherainbow #eatseasonal #locavore #nothingisordinary #farmersmarket #farmtofork #farmtotable #lifeandthyme #foragebyfolk #feedfeed #tastingtable #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #feedyoursoul #iamwellandgood #gogreen #gatheringslikethese #livecolorfully #inmykitchen #inspiremyinstagram #foodblogeats #nourishyourbody #organicmoments #eatmoreplants #hearthealthy #myopenkitchen #thechalkboardeats #breakfast #gogreen #eatlocal
STACKED! I received a fresh shipment of @luvofoods meals and they were a lifesaver this week! (sponsored) . We're headed out of the country tomorrow and while I love traveling, the days leading up to a trip abroad can be pretty hectic--especially when said trip backs right up to a conference (how to pack for 2 weeks in Europe and then a conference in a carry on???). Needless to say it's been so nice to reach right in the freezer and have lunch or dinner at my fingertips, so I can get back to the important stuff--like planning vacation outfits. . Luvo has taken frozen meals next level. These are not the TV dinners of the 90's. Instead, each meal is filled with whole grains, protein from quality plant and animal sources (raised without hormones or antibiotics), low in sodium, and at least a full serving of veggies. Now that's a frozen meal I can get behind. . Find out more about Luvo at LuvoFoods.com and let me know: what is YOUR favorite easy dinner for crazy busy weeks? And send me your tips for being a minimalist packer, no matter how much I travel I ALWAYS bring too much! . . . . . . #traveleats #foodadventure #travelandeat #foodadventures #travelfood #traveltoeat #willflyforfood #foodieadventures #foodtravel #travelingfoodie #travelforfood #feedfeed #buzzfeast #eeeeeats #foodandwine #forkyeah #onthetable #yahoofood #buzzfeedfood #eater #heresmyfood #dailyfoodfeed #eattheworld #eatfamous #tastingtable #foodbeast #spoonfeed #foodgasm #registereddietitian #rd2be
KIMCHI GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS | Ah, brussels sprouts. The food we all hated as children but have now grown to love. It’s funny to think of all the foods that just sounded awful when we were young but now we can’t get enough of (also see cauliflower). . Roasted brussels sprouts are one of my favorite foods because they are perfect as a side dish but also hold up as a main dish on their own. And now that the weather is cooling off and it’s seasonally appropriate to turn the oven on, you’ll find me on the couch with a bowl of brussels at least once a week. . One of my favorite flavors for roasted brussels is a kimchi glaze. Made with sesame oil, soy, a bit of fish sauce, ginger, and a touch of sugar, this spicy and sweet sauce really shines with the crunchy depth of roasted brussels leaves. . Get the super easy, super flavorful recipe on the blog now! And tell me, how do YOU like brussels sprouts?
WELLNESS WEDNESDAY | Do you get overwhelmed when you get busy? When you have too much on your plate do you shut down instead of taking action? You're not alone, I feel you. . I have learned the hard way (many times) that when I feel up to my ears in to dos that I need to step back and take a bit of time for myself. It may sound counterintuitive, but taking a step away and focusing on things that recharge you -- a cup of matcha, a yoga class, journaling -- can help you to put what's truly important in perspective. . I'm sharing ten of my favorite simple tips for feeling more zen when life gets hectic on the blog (link in profile). But tell me, what is YOUR favorite way to zen out? Mine is a run outside or cleaning my house...clearing my space helps me to clear my mind!
Bloody Marys on a Tuesday night? Don't mind if I do! . Ive been taking advantage of the sales on late summer produce by batch cooking and freezing, because you best believe I’m using up those tomatoes this season in any way I can before they're gone.

How do YOU like to use up the season's last tomatoes? 🍅 🍅🍅
