I’m here to explore with you what it means to live fully. Let’s start with a good meal and a full stomach. On this blog, you can expect to find nutrition information, recipes, travel inspiration, mental health conversations, and more.
nutrition
I’m a dietitian, so I will bring you information from an evidence-based perspective. My hope for you is to experience peace in your body, joy in eating, and energy to continue living your life. As someone who has lived with autoimmune and mental health conditions, I understand the desire to find solutions to feel your best. You can see improvement in symptoms with lifestyle modifications, but you don’t have to do any crazy diets to get there. In fact, restrictive diets can exacerbate health issues - so let’s make sure we’re eating!
I believe in health at every size.
I believe that in order to feel our best and maintain our health long-term we need to be adequately nourished.
I believe food should be enjoyed.
recipes
SIMPLE
I am not an extravagant cook but I love good food! Simple meals to me mean low-stress and adjustable based on what’s on hand or what’s relevant and in season.
The majority of my recipes require a small-ish amount of ingredients and time and don’t have to be made with exact measurements to work out. Don’t fret over precision and taste as you go!
FUN & SEASONAL
Something I consider when creating recipes is where I live and what’s growing or in storage. If it’s summer in Wisconsin, I’ll be eating tomatoes and zucchini and making pesto. In fall? I’ll be roasting carrots and Brussels sprouts and tossing with some meatballs. Eating seasonal foods is kind to the budget, the planet, and our health. The food tastes great, too!
AFFORDABLE
One of my goals is to choose budget-friendly options without compromising on flavor and quality. It’s possible to eat well without breaking the bank. I’ll show you how.
