Profile of a Healthy Eater: Alexandra

This week, meet Alexandra.This healthy eater has a pretty sweet job and penchant for kitchen gadgets.

What’s your foodie style? I try to eat as all-natural and organically as possible. I’m a pescatarian about 80% of the time and prefer to eat whole grains/legumes for protein and a ton of local fruits and veggies. I work on an all natural farm, so I’m truly spoiled by the types of produce I consume.
Something people consider “healthy” that you think is anything but? Yoplait yogurt, or any sugar-containing yogurt.
Favorite food/health blog? I really love A Foodie Stays Fit. Teri is a true foodie and I love all of her inventive recipes.
Your go-to five-minute meal? Cold, left over quinoa with cheddar cheese, fresh tomato and avacado.
Perfect last meal? Pasta with goat cheese, leaks and portobello mushrooms, and tart frozen yogurt with blueberries for dessert.
Favorite method of cooking and why? I recently purchased a bamboo steamer and am kind of obsessed with it. I’ve been making more steamed vegetables and fish than I know what to do with. Everything is just so fresh and light!
Craziest diet you’ve ever tried? I’ve never once been on an actual diet, but for a while I was eating grapefruit with every meal (in hopes of speeding up my metabolism).
Restaurant you’d go to every day if you could? Mama Palma’s
Food/dish you’ve always wanted to learn how to cook, but haven’t? Eggs Benedict (I even have the special poaching pan!).
Dream dining companion? Martha Stewart.
