Hello readers! My name is Kristen. I started this blog to share my love and knowledge of food and nutrition. I became a Registered Dietitian in May 2008 and currently work with children. I love to eat healthy but still love to splurge on wine and desserts. I hope by reading my blog you’ll see that even as a dietitian, I have my own struggles with healthy eating at times.
I was born and raised in Las Vegas and currently have a place with my two cats, Oliver and Charlotte. Most of my family lives in Vegas, including my sister Andrea, whom I am very close with. I turned 27 in March!
Since starting this blog, I have also tried to work on my cooking skills. I have definitely developed a love for cooking along the way.
I don’t always love exercising but have made it a part of my weekly routine. On a good week, I will exercise 4 days a week. I love yoga, enjoy taking spin classes, and body pump.

I also recently completed my first half marathon. Check out my other bucket list goals here.
Here are 7 fun facts about me!
Hope you enjoy my blog! If you have any questions, feel free to email me at swankydietitian@yahoo.com.

Hey girl! I saw you on Vee’s blog and thought I’d come on over! RD huh? How great it must be to have all that knowledge!

Hello Kristen!
This is an amazing blog – so professional and a great resource. I’m getting very, very hungry looking at all the food pieces (so many great meal and snack ideas I need to try).
Your shower piece was great! My camera battery is on its last leg, so I haven’t been getting too many pics out of it, but even had I been able too, they wouldn’t have looked as lovely as yours.
A beautiful rest of the weekend to you and your sis!

What a nice blog. I wish you well. I was a public health nutritionist and epidemiologist for many years, and wish you an enjoyable career!
I love to cook also.
Thanks for the blog.

Thank you for pointing out that even RDs can have food related struggles! Everyone assumes we are just so “perfect” when it comes to what we eat and our relationship with food, but I think most of us know that is not the case!
