National Nutrition Month
March is National Nutrition Month.
Nutrition can be fun and exciting and food should be enjoyable. Food is a pleasure in life! When you eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full, a healthier lifestyle can be achieved while still enjoying some of your favorite treats. While many of you may find this hard to believe and feel you can not be trusted or allowed to eat certain foods, which may be part of the problem, i.e. those foods are restricted and give them more power.
I have been preparing for an upcoming talk for the Utah Dietetic Association on intuitive eating. I am reminded how many people continue to struggle with diets, disordered eating and eating disorders. If you are ready to try a new outlook and ban the diets forever, give me a call to set up the beginning stages of intuitive eating.

Snow & Vegetables
The recent snow brought fun activities and new uses for vegetables.
During the recent snow event, I found a new use for vegetables and a way to remind others vegetables are used for all parts of our bodies. Inside my warm and cozy home, I munched on vegetables as I watched the snow fall and the thought came to me of how the rainbow of colors could be used in decorations. This brought on the creation of my snowman; tomato eyes, broccoli ears, carrot nose, celery stalk arms, purple cabbage hair, and bell pepper mouth.
Thinking about balance, the same snow event that prompted the vegetable snowman, gave me an opportunity to make snow angels and to eat snow ice cream. What a fun way to enjoy the weather and one of my favorite treats!

Snow Ice Cream Recipe
My motto: "There's always room for ice cream and chocolate!"
Before gathering the snow, prepare the folowing:
1 cup of milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 T. sugar
Mix above together. Gather snow, mix snow by spoonfuls into basic mixture until it becomes consistency of ice cream and eat immediately.
