HI!  Welcome to the Kane County Food $ense blog.  Here I will share quick, easy AND healthy recipes for you and your family!!!  I will also be posting tips for healthy living, eating and even tips to stretch your food $$$.  But first... a little bit about me! 😁

  I am the Kane County NEA (Nutrition Educator Assistant) through the USU Extensions program, and I LOOOOVE nutrition!  When I was in middle school I started having some health issues and passing out randomly, after some doctor visits and tests it was confirmed that I had Hypoglycemia, a disease where your blood sugar drops below normal levels.  It can be managed through a healthy diet.  After this diagnosis I got a food guide pyramid and hung it in my closet to look at everyday, to make sure I was being healthy.  Maybe a bit extreme... what can I say, I was an odd child 😉... but seeing that image everyday, as well as the drastic change in how I felt, when I was eating right created this passion I have for healthy eating.  In 2008 I pursued a degree in Nutrition and 3 years later, I graduated with my Bachelors degree from Southern Utah University in Human Nutrition.  Learning how to manage my illness and feel healthy was invigorating for me.  I later taught a nutrition after school program for Granite School District at Academy Park Elementary.  This is where I developed my LOVE for teaching!  I want to help you improve your eating habits, stretching your food $$$, and give delicious healthy recipes to implement in your weekly menu!  Simple changes in eating and physical activity can DRAMATICALLY change your life.  Don't believe me?..
