My very first post!

Welcome to Beautifully Nutty! My name is Melanie and I am a Registered Dietitian (RD) from a southern suburb of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. I have a passion for food and health. I try to live a healthy lifestyle including a well-balanced diet and fitness, but will be perfectly honest when I say I absolutely adore sweets. The good news is, treats and sweets can be part of a healthy diet; all in moderation of course!

The intention of Beautifully Nutty is not to advise on “what to eat” and “what not to eat,” it’s simply a place for me to share my life, recipes, fitness, and to keep me on track toward my health and fitness goals. I don’t believe in diets per say, I believe in learning how to live a healthy lifestyle, which is something you can attain for life, not just for a few weeks.

I look forward to sharing more of my life with you. I am still figuring out the ins and outs of the blog, so try to be patient with me (computers and I don’t always get along) as I continue to learn!
