Simple, Sound Nutrition

This blog is intended to help women and men come to grips with nutrition. We all have a ton of questions about nutrition and don't know where to look for help. You can't depend on tv, magazines or your local gym for advice. They all give all sorts of confusing information and you never know what's completely bogus. Well, I plan to give you my advice, per Heidi and my background, which is a BS in Dietetics. I also have 4 kids and a husband to feed on a daily basis so I would love to share some great meal ideas and shopping tips. Please feel free to comment, ask questions, share recipes, etc.
