I am a Nutritionist.  I actually went to college back in the 90s for this.  I wanted to be “healthy” for the rest of my life.  I gave up red meat at sixteen and at twenty-four I started eating bacon again, thanks to my now husband.  He thinks I saw the light.  I think I was just hungry.  For the last twenty years I’ve followed my husband around the world for nine moves, supporting his military career, raising our three children, learning new languages, new cultures, and most importantly for me, new recipes.  I’m ready to share what I’ve learned, what kids have taught me (that my science background has proved pointless when the tantrum is about a speck of green in a meatball) and why I think it’s all about being back at the table.  I wear many hats but when I am in the kitchen, it all comes together.  Let’s unplug, laugh and reconnect.  Back At The Table.

I posted in my stories last night that my seven year old decided not to eat the risotto (that he typically loves) and declared it “disgusting”. He was just in one of those moods we’ve all witnessed in our kids. That’s fine and

The reality is that most kids get plenty of protein, even if they’re vegetarian. Protein is found in so many places and while your needs are age specific, think 2-3 portions/per day. A portion looks like the size of the child’s fist. I
Sometimes we need a break. I’ll take it today with donuts from @traderjoes for snack time. It’s not considered a “cheat meal” in my book. It’s considered normal eating, which is indulging in foods you shouldn’t ea
Let’s talk yogurt. We’re fans of it in this house, though it has to be full fat and creamy. We try not to buy the individual cups or squeeze sticks (but sometimes we do!) and stick to larger glass jars. Sometimes vanilla, sometimes pla
