Welcome

Thank you for stopping by my blog. I am a dietetic student, one year away from my bachelor's degree and becoming a Registered Dietitian. I am also a mother of an 11 year old son, I work full time as a dietary manager for an assisted living facility and I lead a busy life style; just like most parents these days. Between my husband's job, my job, my schoolwork, my son's schoolwork, running our son from boy scout meetings or camp-outs and going to and from football practice or basketball practice and games on the weekends, church and Sunday school...Oh My! I'm getting tired just thinking about it!

With everything that we as parents have to do, the most important aspect of our day should be eating right and feeding our families healthy food. But how do we do this in our hectic lives? This is a place where I would like to give you all ideas on how to incorporate healthy foods into our busy day, teaching our children that 'good for you food' can be 'good tasting food', and I would like everyone to come up with their own ideas. Most parents out there have different and creative ways their families eat healthy 'on the go'.

I am always trying different ways to cook food, to make it quicker and healthier, finding good foods that travel well to games, and not going over my budget!

Next week I plan on discussing everyone's favorite: Vegetables!! Okay maybe not everyone's favorite, but vegetable are mine and I'm not joking! I even take cauliflower on my camping trips because I can't live without it!  Hope to you then.
