about
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 am also pursuing a Masters in Health Communications and will be finished in 2012.
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.
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 recently completed my first half marathon along with a few other races these past couple years. 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.

I love your blog! If I can’t keep up with you like I should, at least I can keep up with your blog. This is great Kristen. I can’t wait to read more.
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!
PS–love Jillians quote. So true.
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!
Thanks so much for stopping by! It was so great to see you again.
I’m excited to follow you!
Hi Kristen! I loveee that J. Child’s quote!
That Jillian quote is right on!
I just came across your site, through another site and it looks awesome! I’m looking forward to reading your new and old posts!
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!

So excited that I found your blog! I love that you’re a Vegas girl like me! I’m slowly working toward a degree in fitness and health, and I think it’s so cool that you’re and RD. I should have finished school when I lived at home with my folks! LOL
