About The Author

Hi!  I’m a dietitian and newlywed from Pittsburgh, PA.  I love to eat and experiment with new foods, recipes, and restaurants.

Don’t know what a dietitian (RD) is?  Check out my explanation (via guest post on a friend’s blog).

I’m new to the blog world but used to write several AOL magazines back in ’90s and really love the online writing community.  The blogs on my favorites list are all inspirational and I love to get inspiration from them.

My blog will mostly focus on food instead of my personal life.  I might mention personal events or friends/family, but that really isn’t what this blog is here for.  I want to share my knowledge, ideas, and experiences that involve food, excercise, and living well.

I am a registered dietitian but by no means am I the food police.  I love to indulge in chocolate, frozen yogurt, and other forms of “junk” food on a regular basis.

Everything in moderation!

    Hey!

    Just found your blog! I am always so interested to see what RD’s diets are like & I love to hear that you still love to indulge and enjoy delicious food.

    I recently started my career as an occupational therapist and work in the acute care setting. I am curious to know which setting you work in as I know RDs have various options of places to work?

    Looking forward to following you more often!

    I blog at lizashlee.com and would love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!

    Have a great day!

    Liz

    So… this is so weird/random, but I definitely read your “‘zine” way back in the day! I saw your comment on Snackface, clicked to your blog and recognized your face but wasn’t sure why… read the “about me” and it all clicked!

    Hi Claire! I just discover your blog and I noticed that we share similar interests 🙂 I’m also a RD and a newlywed. I like to cook, to run/do spinning class ! I’m from Canada, but I’ll be moving to Pittsburgh in January for a couple of months with my husband and I would really like to meet new people. Unfortunately, I don’t have a blog yet. You can reach me via Twitter (k_cloutier), or Facebook (Kathleen Cloutier, hometown Québec) or email (k-cloutier@hotmail.com).

    I just found your blog and already love it! I currently live in Morgantown, WV, but hope to take the plunge and move to (or at least near) the Pittsburgh area in the next five years, so it’s great to find people in the area who are health enthusiasts as well!
