The joy of food brings families and friends together. A healthy diet and an active lifestyle indefinitely impact health and quality of life. As a registered dietitian and a mom, I place priority in nurturing my family with a love for fruits and vegetables and ensuring that we all live a healthy, active lifestyle. I would like share with you my passion in FOOD, NUTRITION, & WELLNESS. I am Winy Chen and I want to welcome you to my kitchen!
One of my favorite restaurants to dine in LA is called La Quotidienne. When I go there, that’s where my spirit comes alive. It offers many vegan, vegetarian dishes as well high quality non vegetarian items. The Canellini Beans Salad is where I got my inspiration from this restaurant.
This plant-based salad is perfect for a hot summer day in August and it is filled with vitamins and minerals that are good for your health! Not to mention beans are good source of protein and it has the ability to boost one’s mood. I hope you can make it as one of your weekday meals.
