featured recipe: grilled vegetable kabobs
Kababs are a great kid-friendly meal because little ones can be part of making it! With this grilled vegetable kabab, you can get the kids involved by letting them assemble the veggies on a stick.
My enthusiasm for sustainable food systems and nutrition education has taken me from Northern California to Brooklyn, NY to Greensboro, NC and many other places in between! I love to interact with people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures, and I get to do this each week in the ESY kitchen. I have degrees in nutrition and public health from UC Berkeley and UNC Chapel Hill, and I am a proud Registered Dietitian. Outside of work, I’m an avid distance runner and I love to explore new places with my own two feet.
