Whether you are just looking for a convenient way to grab some quick meals, have specific health concerns to address, or are interested in a whole foods and more environmentally conscious approach to eating, you’re in the right place.

I’m Gretchen, a registered dietitian, mom to two boys, bonus mom to two more boys, and a surrogate carrier for 5 more!  I completed my master’s degree and started my first job at Rush University Medical Center, a large teaching hospital in Chicago.  From my first job in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit), my experience then expanded to outpatient diabetes education, organic farming, rehabilitation facilities, and corporate wellness.  All of that was supplemented by an informal education (worth its weight in saffron- more expensive than gold, look it up!), cooking for my family of 6 (including one pescetarian, one seafood allergy, and one member with type 1 diabetes).  I was also heavily involved in human milk research during my time in the NICU, supplemented by my own surrogacy journeys.  To say I understand nutrition through the lifecycle is an understatement.
