Happy National Farmer’s Day! 🌱

Over the years, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to visit farms, walk through fields, meet farmers, and hear firsthand about the hard work, care, and passion that goes into growing our food.

As a dietitian, I spend a lot of time talking about food and nutrition. These experiences have given me an even greater appreciation for the people and stories behind the food on our plates.

From corn and soybeans to grapes, tomatoes, and almonds, every farm visit has taught me something new!

Today, a heartfelt thank you to the farmers who work so hard to nourish our families and communities. ❤️

Have you ever visited a working farm?

Who knew a humble bowl of lentils (dal) could do so much for your gut?

Growing up in India, dal was a regular part of our meals, and it still is today. I love how something so simple, affordable and delicious has so much to offer nutritionally.

I recently shared my thoughts with Good Housekeeping for an article on five foods that support colon health. Thanks for the interview Lauren Manaker MS RDN LD CLEC

One of the reasons I’m such a fan of lentils? Their fiber does double duty. It helps keep us regular while also feeding beneficial gut bacteria, which in turn produce compounds that support colon health.

A good reminder that eating well doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes the foods we’ve enjoyed for generations are worth celebrating!

Are you a dal lover too? How do you enjoy your lentils?

15 minutes + a few simple ingredients = one seriously flavorful dinner 🌶️

This tofu and vegetable jalfrezi is loaded with colorful peppers, onions and Indian spices, with whole-grain roti on the side.

Quick and easy, but still bringing together so much of what I look for in a satisfying, blood sugar-friendly meal: plenty of veggies, plant protein, fiber and whole grains.

Because eating well doesn’t have to be complicated or boring. Flavor always matters!

Would you try this for a quick weeknight dinner?

From the farm to our plates 🍉🌱


Last month, I had the opportunity to join Bayer’s Agriculture Innovation Experience in Northern California.

I loved learning alongside and having conversations with growers, food scientists, toxicologists, physicians, researchers, journalists and other experts, all bringing different perspectives to the table.

As a dietitian, I spend so much of my time talking about the food on our plates. It was especially meaningful to step into the fields, hear directly from growers and researchers, and learn more about the science and innovation behind our food.

I came away with new perspectives, more questions, and an even greater appreciation for how interconnected agriculture, food, nutrition and health really are.

And yes, tasting melon straight from the field was definitely a highlight! 🍈

Thank you Kelly Bristow and Bayer U.S. | Crop Science for inviting me and bringing together such a thoughtful group. I’m grateful for opportunities like this to keep learning, asking questions and connecting across disciplines.

Sunday night comfort food, my way. 🏈

Millet khichdi with warming spices, green peas and tofu in a flavorful gravy, plus Greek yogurt to round out the meal.

There’s something about a warm, nourishing bowl of familiar flavors that just hits differently. Proof that comfort food can be satisfying, balanced and absolutely delicious.

Now back to Sunday Night Football. 🏈

What’s your favorite Sunday night comfort meal?

Cold, rainy Sunday mornings call for homemade masala chai. ☕️

It takes me back to childhood mornings in India—when the kitchen would fill with the aroma of fresh ginger, cardamom and warming spices, and a hot cup of chai made the whole house feel cozy.

One of my favorite ways to slow down and enjoy a Sunday morning.

What’s in your perfect cup of chai?
