Welcome to my blog!  As a trained chef, I’m a foodie and can’t think of many experiences more heavenly than enjoying the kind of meal that puts a smile on my face and throughout my soul.  As a dietitian, I am in awe of the power that food has–if chosen wisely–in increasing our chances that we will live vibrant, healthy, long lives.  I strongly believe that the kind of food that makes your soul smile, can also make your heart, brain and the rest of your body smile too!  My goal for this blog is to help its readers blend these two worlds by sharing the ideas, tips, strategies and information which I’ve found to be useful in everyday, busy life.  I’m just getting started, but have already set up a few categories that I hope to fill with such tidbits before long…stay tuned and enjoy!
