Plant based protein bowl
Fall is always such a crazy time for my family and myself. This fall has been crazy for my route of becoming a dietitian. I am doing my medical and surgical internship in Central New Jersey. In the past two months, I have attended a short bowel syndrome presentation and a volume-based feeding presentation to increase my knowledge in these areas. Starting in November, I will be starting my renal rotation at DaVita. I am looking forward to gaining as much experience during my internships as I can!
It is our busiest season on my family's farm with hayrides, pumpkin picking, corn maze, an abundance of Jersey vegetables, apples, and fall events. It was a great time of year for The Recipe Redux's theme of a plant based protein bowl. I have been trying to add more vegetarian dishes and protein sources into my diet. I even bought this awesome tank top that states, "Ok, but first veggies". I bought the shirt from The Shop Forward. It supports Harvest 107, where the proceeds go to rebuild farms in Haiti. Before hurricane Matthew, earlier this month, the proceeds went to fight huger through sustainable agricultural projects, education, and employment opportunities. As you all know, hurricane Matthew destroyed much of Haiti, so it is important to rebuild these farms back up. It is a great non-profit organization. I encourage everyone to check out Harvest 107 and go support them! Plus, this shirt is amazing!

Optional dressing: avocado parsley dressing
