Slow down, you move too fast, you got to make the morning last, Just kicking down the cobblestones, looking for fun

and feeling groovy. Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, brought to you by Nutritional Weight

and Wellness. I am Teresa Wagner. I am a registered and licensed dietitian, and I work with clients either by phone or Zoom two to three days a week at nutritional weight and wellness.

On the other days of the week, you'll likely find me in the kitchen or in the grocery store thinking of or prepping healthy meals for my family.

I have three kids who are 11, 9, and almost 6.

And sometimes I need to be a creative cook in order to interest my active kids in eating vegetables.

Let's face it, they're regular kids, and I would prefer to eat treats like cookies, chips,

crackers, candy, ice cream bars or pizza and on and on, right? But in working in the field of

dieticics, I learned that those types of foods that can affect long-term health or that they can affect long-term

health when they're eaten more than just occasionally.

Because of my love for my children, I'm always trying to cook good, healthy food for them,

even for breakfast.

Some may think it's odd that I don't like to keep box cereal at my house.

I don't think it's odd.

But you and I work together, so that makes sense.

I think I'm in good company here.

It's not easy, though, to be honest.

Especially now that we are dealing with the coronavirus.

There is a lot of cooking going on at my house.
