Hello! I am new to your blog and loving every bit of it. I am aspiring to start my nutrition MS soon (career change!) and this has been a great way to learn more about the field. Thanks for sharing your background with us - so inspiring!
I love your words "Grow, cook, eat, and enjoy as much of your own food as possible". In this vein - do you have suggested resources for someone looking to start her first vegetable garden this spring?
The easiest book to start using is The All New Square Food Gardening by Mel Bartholomew.
Glad to know you are coming into the nutrition field. Welcome!
Many, many thanks! I will be sure to check out both of these resources and hope to have some success. Best wishes!
"Late again" has become my oft-repeated phrase, especially this past month, which included an abundance of dietitian-y & gardening activities (Nutrition Month, Dietitians' Day, Food Policy Council meetings, a food security workshop, soil tending and seed sowing)....so I'm reading your post, finally, this afternoon.
I'm sure it will be helpful not only to future dietitians but also "seasoned" ones who also need passionate, knowledgeable pioneers to lead and inspire them.
You mentioned organizing your cookbooks & re-finding the prayer were balm to calm you down. Well, everything you've written since my last visit to your blog has lifted my spirits.
I agree, "we are what we grow".
