HBD lil TCR: My Little Bitty Baby Blog Turns 2

March 20, 2013 Miranda
-8.jpg

It's my little bitty baby blog's birthday this month and, in retrospect, it's not that little bitty any longer. This month serves as the 2 year mark since I've been blogging. The Crunchy Radish has been able to serve as some what of a cathartic release, and I have been able to document my journey as a nutrition student, dietetic intern, and now a practicing clinician. In my annual birthday blog post, I like to take this celebratory opportunity to thank those who have been reading and supporting TCR from the very beginning and those of you who may be glancing over my blog for the very first time. I truly appreciate any time and energy you spend here. With my career advancements, my blog has grown as well. I like to think the recipes are a little more thoughtful and repeatable, and that my writing and nutrition knowledge has developed and grown. Although I have made personal and professional strides, there is so much more that must be done. I'd like to take this little radish to the next level and have a place where I can offer private counseling and consultation as well as give this baby radish a facelift. 

For now, thank you for the time you've spent with me thus far. I hope you continue to enjoy looking at my photographs, reading my words, and  understanding my goal of inspiring you to make simple and sustainable alterations to your diet that will make a world of difference. 

Here are some of my favorite posts from the past year:

This, this, and this because I will forever have the travel bug

Still obsessing over spaghetti squash and this delicious creation 

I truly am a kale addict ...truly

Sometimes life's challenges inspire creativity 

No city can rebound like my city 

Reminiscing about the past, and looking forward to the future

Steadily building my confidence in sharing my cooking and learning the ropes of entertaining

And this post, because even purists have vices ....

We spent the last unofficial week of summer in Maine. We have visited a few times before but, this was our first trip with Jack in tow. Maine is one of my favorite places to visit because it emanates quintessential New England charm with its beautiful coastlines, fabulous seafood, and welcoming communities.

radish recs: golden door spa and resort
radish recs: golden door spa and resort

This has been a busy summer for me filled with some amazing travel, fun work opportunities, and prepping for the incoming addition of #babyradish. I also had the incredible opportunity to attend the cooking school at the Golden Door Spa and Resort outside Escondido, California in early August for some personal development paired with some R and R. The few days that I spent at the Golden Door allowed me some major relaxation partnered with my favorite past time - cooking! 

The Golden Door experience is completely tailored to each guest's needs, from dietary requests, spa treatments, and workouts - everyone's visit is 100% unique. The primary purpose of my stay was to improve upon my culinary skills and to learn new techniques around building flavor and texture using vegetable-forward ingredients without sacrificing the nutritional quality of the food. Although the main incentive of my visit was for the cooking school, that didn't mean that I couldn't indulge in all of the glory that the Golden Door has to offer.

Radish Recs: Nantucket
Radish Recs: Nantucket

Nantucket will forever be our special place, as I know it is for many people. When I first visited sixteen years ago, I was immediately awe struck by the magic and pure unadulterated beauty of the island. The unforgiving “New Englandness” of it all and its upscale Americanism that truly rain supreme. Our transcendent tour guides, Emily and Jack, were present throughout our brief little trip, and we are forever grateful to them for guiding us in the most perfect directions. We spent a little under three days on the Island but, as always, it was well fueled by fantastic and memorable eats. Here are my Radish Recs: Nantucket
