Today I was asked to talk about my passion and how it connects to my career… and if you know me, you already know I was going to bring it back to FOOD. 🌱

Because for me, food isn’t just food. It’s health. It’s culture. It’s connection. It’s community. And sometimes, it’s the easiest way to start a really good conversation.

I work with a population where access to nutritionally dense foods can play an important role in supporting health and medication adherence. So, naturally, I decided the best way to explain my approach to community health was to feed my coworkers. 😂

I made a sweet potato & black bean chili and quinoa cornbread.Both items were plant-based to make sure there was something everyone could enjoy.

And let me just say… THEY ATE.

But beyond the empty serving dishes (which I consider a very successful evaluation), I loved that my team got to experience the connection I see between food and health.

This is why I’m so passionate about this work. I believe healthier communities start with conversations about the things that impact our everyday lives, including what’s on our plates and whether people can actually access the foods that help them thrive.

These days, making a salad at the grocery store requires a full risk assessment. 🧐🥗 When was the last time you had a salad?! Because I’d be lying if I said I didn’t pray a little harder before indulging. 🙏🏾

And listen… I’m not saying don’t eat your greens. I’m saying read the room, check the headlines, and maybe say grace twice. 🙏🏽🤞🏽

Make no mistake about it —our food supply chain is FUK’D. 🫠😵‍💫

Anyway… who’s bringing the cooked vegetables? 👀

Add ground beef to the list of food items to avoid. On the same day they are exposed for slaughtering wild horses, there are 300,000 metric tons of “ground beef” headed to the US despite being rejected by China’s food safety commission. Oh, and the beef will be imported tariff-free and sold at 25% below current market prices.

This past weekend, I got back in the kitchen and made sweet potato & black bean quesadillas for my parents. Let me tell you, these did NOT disappoint! 🌱✨

My parents follow a whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle and also keep their meals SOS-free (no salt, oil, or sugar), so it’s always a fun little challenge finding dishes that meet their dietary preferences without sacrificing flavor.

It had been a while since I’d cooked for them, and when a friend posted these sweet potato & black bean quesadillas, they immediately caught my attention. 👀 I turned to a recipe from Forks Over Knives, knowing it would be a good fit for the way they eat while still delivering a meal that felt satisfying and anything but boring.

And y’all… sweet potatoes + black beans + quesadilla = a combination I didn’t know I needed. 🤌🏾

If you’re exploring more wholesome, plant-forward foods — or you’re simply a foodie who loves discovering a new flavor combination, add these to your list! They’re proof that healthy eating doesn’t have to mean boring eating. 💚🌱

Yesterday, I celebrated my mom’s birthday with my family at PLANTA (DC), and I have to say it may be my favorite plant-based restaurant in the DMV.🌱🍃

Every dish reflected thoughtful, seasonal ingredients, careful ex*****on, and beautiful presentation without feeling overdone. The menu strikes a balance between creativity and approachability, making each plate feel intentional.

The atmosphere deserves its own mention, too. Warm, stylish, and inviting, it’s the kind of place where you want to linger over good food and conversation.

I’m especially intrigued by the Passport to Summer menu, which features 15 globally inspired dishes. After this visit, I’m determined to work my way through every single one.

If you haven’t been yet, add PLANTA to your list. I’ll definitely be back.
