I have the somewhat ironic distinction of not only being a registered dietitian, but also a graduate of culinary school. Needless to say, my two sides often "fight" when it comes to cooking. I try to compromise and make everything healthy without losing too much flavor. I keep everything in check by participating in my other hobby, long-distance running. While others may eat to run, I usually run to eat!
