I think that I have a pretty liberal view on foods for a dietitian. I think that you can have treats, desserts, pizza, fried food, etc. as long as it is in moderation. At our house, we have frozen pizza a couple of times a month or so when we need a quick meal but don't feel like cooking or don't have the time.

The thing that I am pretty adamant about is having produce for every meal. I almost always have some kind of fruit with breakfast and if not, for my morning snack. For lunch and dinner, we always have a vegetable. I love fresh produce and it never feels like a chore to eat it. To me, good nutrition is all about balance.

During the holiday season, it is not uncommon to have last minute get-togethers. When my brother is in town for example, we always spend a lot of time together as a family. An easy option is having pizza and a salad. We often do this and order a pizza from our local pizza place or bake a homemade or frozen pizza. Everyone likes pizza so it is a good crowd pleaser. It is a smart idea to keep a few items on hand during the holiday season in case you have last minute plans. I like having these Red Baron pizzas on hand for a last minute meal. They taste great and are ready in less than 15 minutes.

I am the salad queen and am always creating different salads and vegetable combinations. My mom and I joke that we like our salads "hacked and whacked" meaning finely chopped up. We love to get a lot of different ingredients in each bite for maximum flavor. This salad is loaded with nutrients and tastes great.
