Hi, I'm registered dietitian Cristin Dillon-Jones. Welcome to my blog! I hope you will gain new meal and snack ideas from seeing what I eat every day. It's not practical for anyone to copy every bite, but you can use my examples, adjusting the amount of food to your particular needs, and be on your way to a healthier diet.
No More Leftovers (lunch 11.19.08)
Mike and I had the leftover minestrone soup for lunch and much to my own surprise there are no more leftovers -- we didn't waste a drop of that big pot. I think the soup tasted better today because the flavors had melded together even more. What's great about soup is the nutrition that it packs -- you don't lose any nutrients in the cooking process because they all stay right in the pot with the broth! This recipe in particular contains 5 different vegetables, each a different color so I know I am getting a mini-multivitamin when I eat it. We are going to go out and do a couple errands now -- too cold for a walk but a little fresh air is still a must!
