About Me

Hi, I’m Kristen! I’ve had the honor of working with school meals for the last decade, and it seems there’s a lot of mystery around what’s in school food and how to buy it.

As a registered dietitian, I know how important it is to put good-tasting, high quality, nutrient-rich foods in front of our kids. There are a lot of options out there, and I’d love to be your guinea pig and lend my expertise. I’m here to help parents, school nutrition professionals, and school staff through the process of buying (good) school food!
