![What a nutritionist eats- A Healthy Hunger]()
I live a crazy busy life too, so I know it's still possible to eat well and beautifully.
We all get caught up in the rush and chaos of daily living. There is lots to do in a day- work, going to the gym, minding kids or tending to family, shopping, getting hair cuts, meetings. As many of you know I ran a very busy and successful food business for nearly 25 years. During that time I raised three (gorgeous, wonderful, smart, talented....) kids, ran marathons and triathlons, had a social life and sat down to hot meals with my family every single night.
Why I find it so important to eat well
Mind you, this was all before I went to school and got my degree in Nutrition, but instinctively I knew that fueling my family, not only with healthy food, but delicious and aesthetic food was also important. I believe in the soul, I believe in music and art and the magic of creation. So while I was helping my kids grow their minds and beautiful bodies, I wanted that to be nourished and inspired.
How did I do it? First I learned how to cook. Nothing particularly fancy at first, but some good solid basics that I could rely upon. Once I got confidence in that, I moved on to other things. Failures? Sure. Did I get some scowls? Absolutely. And no, my kids didn't love everything, but we all learned together what was what. We spent time in the kitchen together, the kids set the table and cleaned the dishes. We joked, teased and worked through our frustrations together. Some of my best memories are of my family around tables.
Now my kids are grown and out of the house and my cooking life has shifted, though my busy-ness has not. I love to eat out, and I have no qualms about grabbing something on the run, but even though I often cook for one, I still make a point to not just fill my belly, but make it enjoyable too.

A little peek into how I do it
This meal was actually a lunch that I took to the place where I volunteer twice a week. I poached enough salmon for two days in one swoop.
