POPULARITY
Consumers are more confused than ever about what are the best food choices for themselves and their family. This is the case inspite of the fact or because of the fact that social media, traditional media, books and TV are filled with strongly asserted points of view. Why is establishing the right path so confusing?

Joining me for “all things spuds” is fellow culinary dietitian Amy Myrdal Miller, a farmer’s daughter, public speaker, author, and president of Farmer’s Daughter Consulting. Together, we will tell you all about potato nutrition, give you potato recipes galore, and explain why potatoes are the perfect gateway for getting other vegetables into your diet.

A few varieties that are well-suited for specific cooking techniques are Colomba, Sifra, Mozart, Mulberry Beauty, and Rickey Russet Dispelling the myth of “potato shame,” potatoes are rich in nutrients like vitamin C, potassium (more than a banana!), and fiber and antioxidants (in the skin) How to use potatoes with other veggies as diverse toppings Why many families are turning to potatoes as a staple during the pandemic Amy’s favorite mashed potatoes are a Yukon Gold-type with milk steeped with fresh rosemary; she also likes a preparation with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and pepper, or perhaps milk, sour cream, and cheese How nutrition-packed potatoes compare to rice and pasta as a dinner side dish Liz and Amy compete in a recipe smackdown to name different potato dishes and applications--with over 20 ideas in 60 seconds!

Do you know how to shop the farmers market?You want to eat locally grown foods, but you don’t know how to navigate the farmers market. First step is to find your nearest farmers market. The USDA has a National Farmers Market Directory online. Locate one that’s close to work or home and open on a day that suits your schedule. When you arrive at the market, peruse everything before you make any choices. It’s your fresh food buffet. Try samples when available. Be excited about your purchases, but only buy produce you’re likely to consume over the next few days. Be mindful of food waste. Chat with the growers. They can advise on recipes because they grew the food. You’ll get great ideas, and many farmers have recipes online. Organic certification is very expensive. Not all growers can afford that certification, yet their products may be sold as organic at the market. Listen as Amy Myrdal Miller joins Dr. Pamela Peeke to help you learn how to shop the farmers market.Sponsor:Smarty Pants Vitamins

Conversation 92: The Story, Journey and Passion of Amy Myrdal Miller, RD “I have done a lot of really uncomfortable things and have been really stressed at times. But I’ve had success (in my business) and that has allowed me to say yes to the next scary request or demand, in some cases. I keep building on that and keep refining where I use my time, passion and energy for things that are going to have the most impact.” - Amy Myrdal Miller, RD Today’s conversation is with Amy Myrdal Miller, a registered dietitian who through a variety of professional experiences, always comes back to her roots of being a farmer’s daughter. When I was at FNCE a few years ago, I had the privilege to be there on behalf of Kids Eat Right. On one of the days, I was assigned to work the KER booth, it was “Meet Your Farmer Day” with Amy being the featured farmer. I briefly was able to chat with her in between the numerous other conversations she was having. I was newer to FNCE and I knew Amy has made a path for herself in our profession by the acknowledgement she received that day. Amy has had an amazing career with much variety and you can tell during our entire conversation, Amy is passionate about being a dietitian but also experiences much joy in every thing she does.
