Today is an auspicious day for people like me who love food and nutrition. It’s Registered
Dietitian day and it’s Pi day. RD day was created to help increase awareness of RDs as the go-to source for credible scientific information about food and nutrition. For more information, check out the links below from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics:
Today is also Pi Day because it’s March 14 (or 3.1415926535….). I can’t think of anything better than to combine the two into one delicious lunch! Pie for lunch? Of course, as long as it’s this delicious vegetable pie (well actually a tart but it’s still round so you can use it to calculate Pi if you want!). When I put a big wedge of this on my plate alongside some greens and a poached egg, I know my plate will be balanced; about half vegetables, a serving of grains (cornmeal), a serving of dairy (cheese) and protein. Happy RD day and happy Pi day!
