March is National Nutrition Month.  The campaign is celebrated each year to focus attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.

March 13 is National Registered Dietitian Day (RDN) -- because they are the experts to help us all eat wisely!

Utah RDNs love Utah foods!  They are having some fun promoting "Elevated Eating" to remind people that all foods fit and having joy in eating is a vital part of health.  We don't need to draw lines between good and bad foods.  It's all about moderation and noticing how our individual body responds to food and giving it good self-care as well as pleasing the taste buds.

Misty Kay, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist joined us with some Utah Native foods like fry sauce, honey, scones, Bear Lake shakes, collegiate ice cream and more.  She also shared a classic Utah pie recipe (because Pi Day is tomorrow) from The Daily Meal.
