Bucket List Tummy Bucket List Tummy is a food & nutrition blog and brand sharing easy, kid-friendly snacks and recipes for the whole family. Thanks for dropping by.

From starting solids, to appeasing picky toddlers, to getting a meal on the table in 30 minutes, we want to be your go-to resource! I'm a Registered Dietitian with my Master's in Public Health and Nutrition. Food is my life. The name, "Bucket List Tummy" came to me while reviewing my never-ending list of coffee shops, restaurants, food trucks, farmer’s markets and dessert places I want to try, which is mostly what my bucket list is –with some adventurous, outdoor scenes thrown in! My bucket list is basically my itinerary for myself, and it guides me and helps me to explore a new area. What better way to explore than through food and culture? My life seemingly revolves around food, and that’s how I really enjoy life to the fullest. I believe that food has so much more purpose to our lives than just helping us survive, build muscle, provide nutrients – yes, all of those things are essential. However, food also brings people together, brings happiness and satisfaction, and creates memories. I wholeheartedly believe that all foods can fit into a healthy lifestyle. Come along for the ride!

…I ate the whole entire delicious meal! That’s what happened and nothing else 😋

In our current lives, seed oils (which really = plant oils) seem to evoke something in us. Maybe something spurred by uninformed influencers? Certainly nothing backed by the research.

If we turn to the research, these same plant oils are very beneficial for heart health. Replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fats from seed oils may lower the risk of heart disease. Plant oils exhibit lipid lowering effects, largely due to effectiveness in reducing ing LDL cholesterol, and can even help with glycemia and other things too.

➡️Takeaway: Choose to diversify your cooking oils if you’d like! I rotate between a bunch. There’s no need to stress about cooking with plant oils, they certainly fit in a healthy diet!

These biscuits have become a staple in our house ( ). They are naturally gluten-free for those who need it, and have 3 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber per serving.

I’m a huge smoothie and milkshake lover, and I wanted to use it to my advantage during the first trimester of 🤰to get extra protein, calcium and Vitamin D. This cookie crumble banana milkshake with Nairn’s biscuits was on repeat! It has 27 grams of protein without protein powder, but you can also add your favorite protein powder as well.

RECIPE:

2/3 cup cottage cheese

1 cup milk (I used 2%)

1 frozen banana

½ tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp honey (optional)

3 Nairns breakfast biscuits - flavor of choice. I love chocolate chip, mixed berry and ginger!

Optional – berries, other fruit, chia seeds, etc.


Mix and enjoy! Top with more Nairns biscuit crumbles 🥛🧋🍪Let me know if you try this at home!!

Here are some of the top takeaways from the conference in Panama this year! It was amazing learning from top researchers and communicators with information tailored to top-of-mind topics and concepts in real time! We covered seed oils (which have many heart healthy properties!), GLP-1’s, the microbiome, ultraprocessed foods, and an interesting trend among consumers switching to healthy treats and snacking, learning more about psychosocial impacts of food. I can’t wait to use this in my counseling and communication!

Which fact(s) are you most excited about or do you resonate with most??

Have a picky eater? I know it can be disheartening to have plates come back untouched! But, part of the process for kids learning to eat new foods is familiarity and unless you KEEP serving and offering these foods, they can’t get familiar!

In this episode, I share 8 ways I’ve changed feeding my kids over the years including some major realizations and takeaways that have changed the ways my kids eat for the better!
