About me

Gender Female
Location Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
Introduction I'm not one to talk about myself. It makes me blush thanks to my pale Irish skin. But for the purposes of the "About Me" section, I guess I will say a few things (especially since you can't see me blush!). I am a 23-year-old Registered Dietitian from Cincinnati, Ohio. I also have a Certificate of Baking and Pastry, which I obtained from Oregon Culinary Institute in the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon. Pastry school after Dietetics?! Ironic, I know. You might think that the 4 MONTHS that I spent in pastry school could easily cancel out the 4+ YEARS that I spent studying nutrition. Almost, but not quite. They actually complement one another very well and have helped me to develop my food philosophy... I believe that there are no "bad" foods and that no food should ever be off-limits or eliminated from a diet unless a medical condition deems it necessary. Decadent foods made from natural ingredients can and absolutely should be enjoyed in moderation. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail at Riabird@fuse.net I would love to hear from you and will respond asap!
