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.
One of the things I love about the Marine Corps is that it’s small and goodbyes are rarely permanent. Back when Lloyd was at the Naval Justice School in Newport, RI, we were a) fiancés, which blows me away because we just celebrated our 3-year-anniversary on Tuesday and b) friends with a great couple that we haven’t seen since because they moved to Japan and we moved to Hawaii. Well, they happened to be on Oahu this week, so we met them for dinner last night at Buzz’s Original Steakhouse, and it was just like old times. They are moving this summer at the same time we are, so we may just end up back in the same city again. Wherever we end up, it should be a nice mix of friends, old and new.
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.
