Registered Dietitians are the nutrition experts, and we are working hard to both tell and show the public this. It is always a thrill to see a fellow RD on the news, because I know that makes us one step closer to informing the public that we are the key source for nutrition information. As...

Camping
I am a little late to post (sorry!). We went camping last weekend with Kathryn and Brandon and had a blast. We cooked over the camp stove for breakfast, ate no-cook food for lunch, and cooked over the fire for dinner. Here is a picture of us all from the last night (Kathryn, Brandon, Me,...

What to do?
People ask me tons of questions about eating. What is the perfect breakfast? Do I need breakfast? What should I eat to lose weight? What should I eat to gain muscle? How often should I eat? How much should I eat? I could go on for hours trying to answer these questions. Eating to be... Continue Reading →

Buns in the Oven
While Jason and I have been making our own bread for over a year, we have yet to make our own buns. We've made flat bread, biscuits, corn bread, and crackers, but never buns. On Saturday I decided this was going to change. I found a recipe online (I apologize for not having a source... Continue Reading →
Berry Jell-O Cheesecake
Neufchatel cheese is JUST like cream cheese but with 1/3 less fat (and ultimately 1/3 less calories). I prefer this over low-fat/fat-free cream cheese because there are fewer ingredients. All of the modified-food-whatevers freak me out a bit and I'd rather go with something that has 5 ingredients instead of 22. I bought some neufchatel... Continue Reading →
Frugal Food
I cannot believe how long it has been since I have consistently posted on this site. It feels like just yesterday I was trying to figure out what direction I wanted to go with with this blog and now it makes me a little sad to think that four months could go by that quickly.... Continue Reading →

Carbohydrates and Diabetes
I am amazed at how many people think that diabetics do NOT need carbohydrates (I will abbreviate this as CHO). I would like to clarify this misconception.What is diabetes (DM)?DM is when your body can not metabolize the glucose in your blood properly. What is normal?Normally, when someone eats carbohydrates they are absorbed in the... Continue Reading →
Low-Carb Diets
To go along with the theme, I figured I would try to post about specific diets. I can't guarantee that my subsequent posts will also be about diets, but they may be. My parents have returned to the South Beach Diet and just finished phase one on Mother's Day. The Atkin's Diet is similar to... Continue Reading →
