welcome

Welcome! I'm Regan, and this is The Professional Palate - a place where my nutrition communications business ("professional") and my personal devotion to all things delicious ("palate") co-exist. I am a registered dietitian by education, food-lover by birth, social media/food photography junkie by accident, and a wife/mother by luck and grace. On this blog I frequently share my thoughts on the balance between taste, health and the special occasion eats we all need to enjoy. If you want to know more of the formal "stuff" about me, this is a good place to start. After you've read the fine print, I'd love for you to connect with me beyond just the blog - click one of the "connect" buttons below or sign up for email. I look forward to hearing from you...thanks for stopping by!
