Healthy eating made easier: 'Dietitian's Kitchen' featured at commissary Published July 16, 2008 By Airman 1st Class Rebekah Phy 305th Air Mobility Wing public affairs McGUIRE AIR FORCE BASE, N.J. -- More nutritious choices are being offered for those health-conscious eaters out there. The Health and Wellness Center's registered dietitian recently debuted "Dietitian's Kitchen" at the commissary here. Dietitian's Kitchen is located in the produce section at the commissary. It features a new, healthy recipe every two weeks. The recipe is featured on note cards and all the ingredients are in one spot, making it convenient for customers. "I started Dietitian's Kitchen because people are always looking for quick, healthy meals they can prepare at home," said Dana Maurer, HAWC registered dietitian. "I always get the question, 'What do you eat for dinner?' These meals have been prepared in my kitchen at some time." The recipe note cards also list all the nutrients found in the meal, along with caloric information and serving sizes. "People who are looking for nutritious meals that are simple and easy should check out Dietitian's Kitchen," she said. "When you want to eat well and you have limited time, just grab the recipe, ingredients, and go!" Dietitian's Kitchen recipes can also be found at the HAWC inside the McGuire fitness center.
