I don’t know what it is about summer, but I just can’t seem to get my creative butt in gear to blog post for y’all! I’ve been painting with water colors, taking photography, and other creative things, but my drive to write has hit an all-time low. However, a discussion…

Are Carbs Bad? A Dietitian Explains. Are carbs bad? This is a question I get on a regular basis. Or rather, an opinion I get on a regular basis. Served up right alongside guilt – a feeling ALL my readers know should NEVER be associated with food. Ever, ever. I…

I like avocados. But I can’t say I’m avocado-crazy. I see all these people on social media who I’m quite certain, exclusively live off of the things. While I appreciate them, I find I prefer when they’re served TO me, rather than me having to figure out how I’m going…

Lately in the media, there has been a lot of attention on disordered eating and orthorexia.You’ve likely heard of anorexia and bulimia. You may have even heard the term ‘disordered eating’ – a blanket term to describe those that engage in anorexic/bulimic tendencies, but not quite to the extent of official diagnosis.

It also goes great on top of greek salad, or a bed of rice!

When someone asks 'do dietitians make meal plans?', I hold a shudder back, and explain that there is SO much more to my profession than 'meal plans'.

What I love about bison is that it's super lean, but still flavorful. A combination of sweet and savoury makes for a meatloaf that is unparalleled in flavor.
