Alex Evink, MS, RDN I Moderately Messy RD Helping moms in every season of life eat more protein and fiber and prioritize long-term health. Realistic, evidence-based❤️ Welcome!

My name is Alex Evink, Registered Dietitian (RD) and moderately messy mom of two girls. I have a Master’s degree in nutrition with over 14 years of experience. Currently, I provide nutrition counseling to patients to prevent the progression of chronic kidney disease. I have worked on and off over the past 5 years – so I have experience as a working mom and stay-at-home mom. I am all about evidence

-based research, with a little personal experience mixed in. On this page, you will find mostly evidence-based nutrition content with some healthy recipes. I do not consider myself a food blogger or food photographer – but I do know how to build a well-balanced meal. Therefore, most of the recipes on this site are not complex or sophisticated but with protein and fiber in mind. I do try to think of the nutritional information prior to creating a recipe to get the ideal amount of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and more! I hope to inspire other moms to find ways to prioritize their health through relatable nutrition, fitness and motherhood content. Put yourself first a little more, and join me in embracing your version of moderately messy! It’s all about finding a balance that works for you and your family – because perfection just isn’t possible or realistic.

As a dietitian and a mom, I refuse to believe a balanced dinner has to begin with responsibly thawed meat.

These are some of my favorite backup dinners that still provide a good combination of protein + fiber:

✨ Edamame stir-fry
✨ Cottage cheese snack plates
✨ Shrimp and rice bowls
✨ Mediterranean flatbreads
✨ Tomato feta lentil pasta
✨ Black bean and cheese quesadillas
✨ Eggs, whole-grain toast, avocado + fruit

I put together 12 easy higher-protein dinners—plus even more quick ideas—for those nights when you forgot to thaw anything but still want an actual meal.

Save this for your next “what am I supposed to make now?” night, and comment **DINNER** if you want the full list!

Meal prep doesn’t have to mean making five complete meals.

Sometimes a little micro meal prep is enough to make the week easier:

WASH → strawberries (I chopped them, too)
CHOP → bell peppers
COOK → a pot of quinoa (to eat + freeze)
MIX → pumpkin cannoli dip

If you want my micro meal prep task list with recipe ideas, you can search “small task meal prep” on Moderately Messy RD. Or, comment “LIST” below and I will send them your way!

None of these are full meals, but now I have fruit ready to grab, vegetables ready to add to meals, a cooked grain for bowls and sides, and a higher-protein dip for snacks.

Wash. Chop. Cook. Mix. That’s micro meal prep—and it feels much more manageable to me at times. Sometimes I will cook a protein or mix a dressing or sauce.

Save this formula for the next time you want to prep without spending your entire Sunday in the kitchen.

My new favorite one pan fall meal: this butternut squash ground turkey skillet with cannellini beans, sage, maple & Dijon.

39 grams of protein | 11 grams of fiber
