Veggie Gram

We decided to take a trip back in the Kansas City Dietitians’ history to my (at that time it was a singular dietitian) original post on February 2, 2011. Do you know what we found (besides that the posts used to be really funny)? There has never once been a Valentine’s Day post! To make up for lost time we have decided to make you a special veggiegram.
Chocolate covered strawberries are so last year and since we didn’t bother posting on Valentine’s Day last year we won’t waste your time with a chocolate covered strawberry recipe. Instead we will post what’s new and exciting for 2015!

                  Chocolate Covered Raspberry Tarts

 Ingredients:

6 oz fresh raspberries

1 bar of 70% or greater dark chocolate (our favorites)

2 – 5 oz containers of flavored Greek yogurt (we used raspberry)

1 package phyllo shells (if you have trouble finding this in your local grocery store and can’t find a helpful smile to assist you, try the freezer section)

  1. Break chocolate into pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in microwave for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Return to microwave for 15-20 more seconds or until chocolate is melted. Do not overheat.
  2. Place a dollop of Greek yogurt in each shell, top with a raspberry and drizzle with chocolate. Let sit for 1-2 minutes until chocolate has hardened and serve.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Hi, I’m Mary Kate. I love to try new foods and explore new restaurants and coffee shops, and even went on a homemade bagel-making kick this summer! My interest in nutrition started in middle school with my mom adding more veggies to our meals and making them taste interesting and fun, which sparked my interest to help her cook and learn more about how the food we eat impacts us every day. Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact that proper nutrition and daily fueling can have on overall health. Like many of my clients, I have faced challenges with my own gut health and hormonal changes, so I can relate to the frustrations and fatigue that come with seeking relief. Through personalized care and tailored nutrition, I discovered the keys to my health, and my goal is to help others bring their sense of vitality back!
