spring has sprung + what i'm working on
Spring has officially sprung, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m longing to get my hands on some rhubarb to make this rhubarb frangipane tart and then I’m keeping my eyes out for asparagus to make a chilled asparagus soup. Last year, I was fortunate enough to get the most delicious asparagus from my friends at The Hickories and, not to be dramatic, but it was life-changing. If you see asparagus at your local farmer’s market, grab it. Yes, it’s pricier than at a super market, but they’re hardly the same vegetable. When grown with TLC, spring asparagus is so sweet and delicate, it hardly needs any preparation.
But, onto the main reason most of you are here. I’m looking for Nutritionist* / RDs to provide commentary on:
sugar / added sugar (highest priority)
seed oils
beef jerky
grass-fed meat
*Nutritionists must have NDTR, CN, CNS, CCN, PNS, or CNC certification
