  • tuna melt
     
    I planted another pot of herbs this week, and got straight to work eating them. For lunch I made a Tex-Mex tuna melt – the tuna is mixed with diced avocado and homegrown chili pepper and topped with cheddar cheese and my newly-planted cilantro. The peppers were surprisingly spicy, so I think I’m going to make a cool fruit smoothie to wash it down. I might incorporate mint, which is another new addition to my garden (along with arugula and

  • salmon
     
    I love oven-crisped onions, so this easy salmon recipe caught my eye. I followed it pretty closely, except I used a little less sugar, brown rice instead of white, and yellow onions instead of red. Simple as can be and I have leftovers for lunch.

    It didn’t take long for my anchovy bread appetizer to reemerge.  Last night I had a piece before dinner paired with a glass of red wine and it was delicious.

    Now that Lloyd has been gone for a week on pre-deployment training, I’ve fully realized my cooking routine is going to be among the many changes. I really counted on Lloyd to a) eat the dinners I make and b) give me praise and positive reinforcement to keep making them.

  • salmon burger
     
    Considering that I haven’t been to the store yet since returning from my long trip Sunday night, I made a quite gourmet lunch that I’d happily make again in less desperate times. I simply mixed a pouch of salmon, a few shakes of Old Bay, some fresh dill, the juice of half a lime, a handful of crushed crackers, and a dollop of canola mayo and formed two burgers.

    For our last dinner in Charlottesville we resisted a repeat visit to Miyako (barely) to knock another new restaurant off our list.

    The deliciousness of the sushi spread I ordered for dinner last night even came through on my cell phone camera.  Now that I’m an island girl, I didn’t have super high hopes for sushi in Charlottesville, VA.  But I was blow away by Miyako.
  • sardines
     
    When Lloyd and I go out for dinner, which we’re doing every day this week while we’re in Charlottesville, VA, we often order 1-2 starters and a single entrée then split and share it all.

I am passionate about good food, cooking, and helping others prepare healthy and tasty meals. Fish—packed with omega-3 fatty acids and protein—is a staple of those meals. In my role as a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, I track and translate the latest news on the nutritional benefits of seafood. My background includes degrees in Human Nutrition and Communications. I work with food and beverage groups, as well as individuals, teach nutrition to culinary students and create wellness programs for employers. I also often provide commentary for news media. When I am not cooking a healthy meal or running after my two young children, you can find me running, hiking or practicing yoga.

 

Jennifer McGuire, MS, RD

I am a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, so fish is my nutrition forte. I earned my BA in Communication from Southwestern University. During college, one of my very favorite evening outings was a leisurely trip to the grocery market. My passion for food was undeniable, so I combined both of my interests by earning my MS in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University in Boston, MA. As well as my Registered Dietitian (RD) credential through the University of Delaware. I live in Beaufort, SC where my husband serves as a US Marine Corps Judge Advocate. I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, run, and practice yoga.
