It’s getting to be that point in the summer when it’s unbearably hot. Temperatures are steady at 90 degrees, you’re hit with steam as soon as you open the door, and exercising outside is pretty much laughable. Seriously, New Orleans is straight-up sticky right now! That is absolutely why you need this best blueberry basilRead more
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a blog! I don’t like using “busy” as an excuse for anything really. But sometimes other things just take precedence over posting a blog. I’ve been doing a good bit of traveling, for work and play. And today I just got back from Grande Isle, Louisiana. IRead more
My first Expo West 2018 was a couple weekends ago, and it was a successful, exhausting, eventful, and terrific whirlwind of four days.

This year thereRead more

But, sometimes I tend to make the same salad over and over again. And then I get a little bored. Plus it’sRead more
If you live in Louisiana, it is highly likely that you, a family member, or someone you know has a freezer full of deer meat. My father is no exception to this rule. He just went on a hunting trip and came home with 500 pounds of deer-based products after shooting 3 big ones. ThatRead more
Well, closer to 28ish, but 30 is just so much more dramatic. But yes! I went Keto! And I will probably get a few eyerolls from my fellow dietitians. In fact, I already have. I told an RD friend and she said, “Ugh, not a fan.” And then I treaded a bit more lightly withRead more
Well I totally outdid myself with this one! I whipped up these nachos with ingredients I had at home and they turned out so good! Like when I took the first bite I was like, damn I’m good. Last weekend Grant and I went to the LSU game in the superdome in New Orleans. WeRead more
Last February, one of my best friends texted me a picture of her 3 week long vacation dates and said, “I really need you to come travel with me.” And I said, “Okay let’s do it. Let’s go to Italy.” The rest was history. I’ve been wanting to go to Italy since I got backRead more
