The United States Department of Agriculture says twice a week, make seafood the protein on your plate. Increase the amount and variety of seafood consumed by choosing seafood in place of some meat and poultry.
You may have noticed that I recently added the Foodie BlogRoll widget over there in the right sidebar. Foodie BlogRoll keeps track of and randomly promotes over 4,000 food blogs. If you click through to their website, you can browse some of the diverse and interesting options...ranging from Cheese of the Week to Cupcakes Take the Cake (everything you ever wanted to know about cupcakes). Great, now I'm craving a ginger and rum cake cupcake.
Another (more nutrition oriented) resource for blogs is this list of the Top 50 Dietitian Blogs.
I love to see so many people - moms, RDs, chefs, business owners, you name it - who are so very passionate about food that they take the time to journal publically about it. And once again, I am inspired to get a better camera so that I can keep up with the absolutely beautiful photography out there. Yum!
I am a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, so fish is my nutrition forte. I earned my BA in Communication from Southwestern University, just outside of Austin, TX. During college, one of my very favorite evening outings was a leisurely trip to the grocery market. My passion for food was undeniable, so I combined both of my interests by earning my MS in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University in Boston, MA. As well as my Registered Dietitian (RD) credential through the University of Delaware.
Beyond reading scientific studies about docosahexaenoic acid and selenium, I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, and go to spin class. I live in Kailua, HI on the island of Oahu where my husband serves as a US Marine Corps JAG.
People in Hawaii eat more fish and shellfish than average, but over 80 percent of typical Americans don't eat seafood at least twice per week. Doctors and dietitians like me say that's the goal, so BlogAboutSeafood is here to show you just what plenty of seafood looks like in an RD's real-life diet.
