Beef tripe is found in the traditional cuisine of many parts of the world. It is high in protein, vitamin B12, and selenium. It reflects the concept of “nose-to-tail” cooking 🧑‍🍳 which acknowledges sustainability, nutrition, flavor, and cultural heritage. 🌎 #nosetotail #culturalheritage

Have you tried finger berries? 🖐️ They’re so fun and yum 😋 Kids are often discouraged to play with food, but it’s a great way to experience new food with all their senses, develop familiarity with a food and reduce the anxiety of trying it. #kidsnutritiontips #kidseathealthy

Ever noticed that kids prefer to eat with hands 🙌 ? Finger foods make it easier for them to self-feed. This supports emotional and social growth, fine motor skills, taste and sensory exploration, healthy eating habits, and self-esteem. Finger foods can be anything, including unexpected items.

I know I’m late to the party, but who would resist hearty appetizer-turned-into-dinner loaded nachos 🇲🇽 with some fresh flavor of all these toppings. As the country retreats from globalization and diversity, we could all use some cultural significance of these spices. 🌎 #cincodemayo #diversity

adults need at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a day, 5 days a week. I took a walk at lunch time. Later at night I will clean my house a little bit. Combined, I have 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activities. It doesn’t have to happen in a gym. #physicalactivity

My second grader asked to bring candy to school when he was in third grade so he would have energy to do better on the day-long MCAS. I bursted into laughter. Instead of saying candy is bad for you, guess what I said? (As mom and dietitian)

I showed A Place At The Table to my intro nutrition class today and one student cried. Hope this has left them with something to ponder on. As a mother of two, it is disheartening to know one in five kids in the US are food insecure. What can we do to change that? #endhunger #feedchildren

Chinese bean soup served as a dessert especially in winter warms up my heart and brings me instantly back to home. However, people here in the US have often told me they couldn’t stand the sweet taste and the texture of desserts made with beans as they were used to savory beans. What do you think?

Tonight my 2 yo took two bites of her ravioli. I simply said. if you are full and your tummy is happy, you can stop eating. Soon she started eating again and asked for more. Parents’ job is to provide healthy meal options and it is the kids’ job to determine whether and how much they wanna eat.

Being an immigrant to the US, Thanksgiving only meant the scene in Friends when Joey had his head stuck in a turkey. Today I made some “traditional” Thanksgiving dishes like mashed potatoes and apple crisp, but these non-traditional dishes made with uni (sea urchins) really stole the show!

Last-minute dessert ideas for tonight? I have one! Frozen apples cook quickly in the microwave. Add your favorite toppings like granolas, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, breakfast cereals, etc. And don’t forget that scoop of ice cream if you love to cozy up on a warm dessert with a touch of coldness 🍨
