Quality or Quantity
What do you think is most important when it comes to what you’re eating and trying to become healthier or lose weight? Is it the amount (quantity) of food you’re eating? Or is it the type (quality) of food you consume?
Recipe – Sweet Potato Toast
Over the course of the last few months, I have had my fair share of experimenting with grain-free, gluten-free, paleo-type food options. My current diet is more paleo-ish than 100% paleo, but definitely paying more attention to the ingredients in my food and limiting the not-so paleo things.
In my search for paleo-like foods, I came across a sweet potato toast recipe by The Real Food Dietitians. (I highly suggest this site for some yummy recipes and great advice.) I decided to give it a shot and came up with my own rendition of the recipe.
7 Ways to be Successful with a New Diet Change
As of next week I’ll be participating in a fairly strict nutrition challenge. Monday is quickly approaching and I slightly began to panic. The nutrition chick, panicking about a nutrition challenge?! Yeah, it’s a thing.
I started thinking of a few things that I knew would be beneficial to do before the challenge started, and then I got to thinking even more… I’m sure other people would find this helpful too, so now, my solution to my own problem has turned into a blog post!
Quick and Easy Cauliflower Pizza
Last week I shared on social media my cauliflower pizza and a few of you mentioned that you would be interested in learning about the products I used as well as the recipe.

The brand that we found at our local Meijer was called Caulipower.

COMING SOON: Food Focus
Over the last few weeks I have putting quite a bit of thought into this blog and how I wanted to try to fit in a more nutrition-based segment to help educate readers. Which, I feel, only makes sense being that this whole nutrition thing is kind of my new...
Jalapeno Popper Chicken – Low Carb
So, after making this recipe a few times, and absolutely loving it every time, I finally took my time to make it AND take pictures to post and share! (Thank you Erica for letting me use your kitchen as a background while I was visiting <3 ) This might be...
I’m Not Perfect, and I Know You Aren’t Either
As I continually become more involved in the nutrition world, I can’t help but notice, people in general don’t have a good relationship with food, myself included. Whenever I’m working with dietitians I continually hear comments (some joking, some not) about how people think we’re judging them if we see...
The Truth About Tree Nuts
High in calories and high in fat, tree nuts can’t be good for you, right?! Source WRONG! One of my assignments for Careers in Nutrition and Dietetics class was to find a professional meeting to attend or watch a webinar online that was presented by a Registered Dietitian. Because of...
