I’m passionate about a few things in my life. Two words can help sum up the majority of my passions:

Family & Nutrition.

When I was in dietetics school, I started a blog called Heaven Sent Peanut Butter. [Sorry, it no longer exists.] I started it as a way to share my recipes, health information, and a few family updates. As I became a dietitian [RD = Registered Dietitian], HSPB continued to exist, but my approach to nutrition was changing as I further buried my head in nutrition books and research.  Enter Wholesome LLC and this blog as a way to continue to share my recipes with a plant-based focus, plant-based nutrition research and health topics, and now my adventures as a mother & dietitian raising and feeding a [now] toddler with plants. A place to embrace my two biggest passions in life.

    A great topic would be your approach to baby led weaning!

      That is a great topic! I get a lot of questions about baby led weaning as it is a new approach to feeding infants when they are ready for solid foods.
