Interview with Lush Gourmet Foods (Giveaway!)

IMG_9762

There is something about small businesses that I just love supporting. 

Maybe it’s because I grew up with a family in the small business industry, knowing that the countless hours they put in from morning to night was worth every customer smile back.

Or maybe it’s because I know how much passion they have for their brand, because passion is the key that drives them forward – even when no one else shares their vision.  

And at the end of the day, it might be that the ideas are truly unique and overall, it’s a damn good product or service. My friend Bisera’s company Lush Gourmet Foods, reflects all of these qualities and more.

Comparison: The Game I Don’t Want to Play

Comparison: The Game I Don’t Want to Play

avocado

What happens in 2 months time, may you ask?

I ran the Chicago marathon. (Just your casual 26.2 jog around the neightborhood)
My cousin got married. (Congrats, Rebecca!)
I gave my first business presentation to the Senior Vice President of Technical Operations for United Airlines. (UNREAL!!)
I finished my first class in grad school. (later, Econ!)
Then I registered for my second semester of grad school. (3 semesters to go!) 
I got my first flat tire…that I didn’t know how to change. (I know, I’m car incompetent.)
Then I had to fork over major $$$ for all weather tires, which, is a thing in the North. (First world problems…..especially for someone who lived in the South all her life….now I know!)
I met one of my biggest role models, who happens to be a Registered Dietitian. (Jenny Westerkamp, founder of All Access Internships, former dietitian for the Chicago Blackhawks, and current store manager for Kitchfix)

Roasted Dijion Turmeric Cauliflower and Kale Salad

IMG_8445

This post is inspired and dedicated to my one and only, T. Joe’s. 

LOL but who else, right? The other day I saw a kale and cauliflower salad at my local Trader Joe’s and knew I had to make my own version. I’m a fan of minimal ingredient lunches that don’t suck and pack well – this fits the bill!

Purely Elizabeth “Eating Purely Cookbook” + Giveaway

 

IMG_8554

Bring on the food eye candy – our favorite oatmeal and granola company Purely Elizabeth just launched a cookbook! 

This is such an incredible milestone for the company and I’m so excited to be celebrating along with you guys. I still remember picking up a bag of the ancient grain oatmeal my senior year of college (which, how is it possible that was 2.5 years ago?) and falling in love with the simplicity of the ingredients. The company’s mission and values aligns so closely with mine – advocating the support for local farmers and educating the community about it. As someone who is in the nutrition education field, I’m passionate about about sharing with you these businesses that value health as much as we do. It is an incredibly community to be a part of! 

Also, remember that one time I sat on the guest panel (next to Breakfast Criminals!) of judges for their Oatmeal Recipe Challenge? So much fun – and the oatmeal love is still going strong!

The visuals in this cookbook are stunning. The recipes are not only simple, but packed with flavor and nutrients. Inside the cookbook, you’ll find over 100 organic and gluten free recipes all collected by Elizabeth Stein herself, founder and CEO of Purely Elizabeth.

5 Ingredient Kale Salad, 3 Ways (with Organic Girl)

 

IMG_7811

A dietetic intern’s schedule is no joke, friends. Getting up for a 5am run and then spending all day promoting nutrition education classes around town – just to come back around for my 6:30pm MBA classes. Literally though, what is sleep? What is snack time? What is SLEEP!? 

I’d also like you to please turn your attention to your nearest Registered Dietitian and give them a HUGE hug because all that work they put in for you is SO completely underrated. They are by far the hardest workers I know (I’m also 200% bias, being a (dietitian to be) myself…#noshame) 

But you know what’s been getting me through these weeks? A new line of juices from Organic Girl!

Crunchy Cruciferous Detox Salad from Nutrition Simply

Happy Monday! It’s a fabulous day over here at Nutrition Happens – I’ve got a special recipe made for you from my beautiful and talented friend, (and Registered Dietitian) Shannan Monson! 
LCP9-2-15KaleSalad-4

Shannan is the owner of Nutrition Simply, an online community she built empowering and inspiring those around her to simply feel good about themselves. (which is what we’re all about here – because good food = good mood!) The moment I connected with Shannan her passion for nutrition reflected across all aspects of her work. She balances work life with family life and every little detail in between so effortlessly – but isn’t afraid to get real with you about it. Her honesty about her struggles with nutrition in the past combined with the extensive knowledge she has today (and love for J.Crew) makes her basically like the ultimate best friend you didn’t know you were missing in your life. (Bonus points: she rocks a mad lip color and will inspire you to do the same!)
