Oldways Dietitian a Day: A Mediterranean Gardener

My Mediterranean Garden

 

I am thrilled to be featured as Dietitian for A Day on Oldways Health through Heritage Blog on May 13th.  Oldways is a group I have been involved with for more than a decade and was privileged to know its founder the late K. Dun Gifford.  Their mission is to encourage and support traditional sustainable food choices, particularly in the Mediterranean region.  They not only promote healthy choices but traditional ways of eating that would have otherwise been lost in our modern society.  My blog post, A Mediterranean Gardener, talks about eating a Mediterranean diet close to home – right in your own backyard in fact.  It also features a fabulous Feta Pesto recipe . . . so delicious.  Please read it and enjoy!

Of the many delicious-sounding tours at…

Cheesy Mexican Corn Polenta with Black Bean Chili

March 31 – 2012 Meet my entry for the first Recipe Redux recipe contest sponsored by Cabot Creamery with an “It’s New to You” theme.

Recipe Redux: Honey and Yogurt

This month’s recipe redux was using either honey or maple syrup.  I chose honey and I knew exactly what I wanted to pair it with – thick, flavorful Greek yogurt.  This is a perfect union.  The honey is sweet and viscous and rich while the yogurt is tart and smooth and creamy. Absolute Heaven! I…

Spicy Orange-Scented Olives with Italian Sausage and Peppers

Lindsay Olive Contest March 10th, 2012 – Last year, when I tasted Lindsay olives at the food bloggers conference Eat Write Retreat in Washington, DC  I was impressed. They were not like any of the canned, tinny, bland tasting olives I remembered from my youth.  These were real meaty olives with a real olive taste,…

Diane Welland, M.S., RD

Food and Nutrition Writer

Foodie, dietitian, writer, author, mom and veggie-lover.  When I’m not in the kitchen you’ll find me at a farmers’ market or a food festival.  I’m writing this blog to show how easy and delicious whole, natural, unprocessed, “clean” food can be, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find a few indulgences too.  Everything in moderation.
