All About Me!

Hi! I’m Dr. Nikita – but please, just call me Nikita!

I’m a pediatrician by day, food blogger by nights & weekends.

I’ve been a practicing primary care pediatrician since 2019. Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find me crafting, gardening, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.

By no means am I an expert cook, but I’ve been meal planning and teaching myself how to make simple meals since med school. Some of my favorite recipes are ones that require just a handful of ingredients!

I know how overwhelming it can be to get healthy meals on the table for the whole family, especially as a busy parent on a tight budget. Healthy eating should be easy and affordable for everyone.

That’s why I created The Tiny Spork to share healthy, budget-friendly, and kid-approved recipes that can be made with just 5 ingredients or less!

Here’s what you can expect here:

🥕 Healthy recipes using 5 ingredients or less

🥣 Meal plans that fit into your busy schedule

🥦 Quick breakfasts, lunchbox ideas, healthy snacks, & kid-friendly dinners

🧺 Kitchen organization hacks

🛒 Grocery shopping tips to save money

👩🏽‍⚕️ Practical advice on feeding your little ones

I’d love to hear from you, so feel free to reach out with questions, feedback, recipe requests, or just to say hi!

Happy cooking!
