We have been talking for many years about starting a blog. Both Elizabeth and I own private practices in different cities and for several years have liked the idea of reaching people outside of our offices. Although our careers have taken similar paths, we each bring unique perspectives about nutrition and family feeding. Elizabeth was a professional baker prior to studying nutrition. She loves to cook and from what I can tell, cooking comes naturally for her. As a wedding gift, when we were in graduate school, she gave me cooking utensils and cooking lessons. I remember going to her apartment in Chapel Hill and learning how to chop vegetables – something that still serves me well to this day. I wouldn’t say I love to cook and it doesn’t come naturally for me. However, I think family meals are very important. It doesn’t have to be complicated or even pretty. I work on easy ways to get a meal on the table so we can sit together and eat. While I’m not the best cook, I’m passionate about keeping diet culture out of my family’s culture and am passionate about how I feed my children. On our blog, Elizabeth will focus much of her writing on cooking for her family and sharing easy recipes from her kitchen, while I will share more about how to feed ourselves and our families. We hope these two perspectives make our messages accessible to many people.
