The Beginning

I was about to talk about my Super Bowl wins and losses, recipes that is, until I realized I had never told anyone who I am or why I'm here happy you're read this.

I am a busy soccer mom-fiance-student-office manager-independent consultant that donates her free time to the Lion's Club International, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and to running marathons among other various activities. I'm like every other busy mother, parent and/or student out there looking for something quick to feed myself and my family for dinner on a hectic week night.

I'm studying Entrepreneurship at The Henry W. Bloch School of Management (the business school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.) With the aid of top Entrepreneurial Scholars from across the world and the best of Kansas City's business community supporting me, I have decided to delve into the local health food scene, dissect it piece by piece and serve it up deliciously simple on a platter -- so to speak.

Through Healthy Thoughts on Healthy Foods' top notch community interaction, I hope to get to the bottom of what is stopping us from feeding our children the healthiest meals possible. Is there no time? Are we unaware of the resources at our disposal? Do our children simply refuse to eat nutritional meals? Or maybe you're the parent that has it all figured out. I want to talk to you too. I want to talk to all of you. I want to speak with the local farmers in the community, the health food enthusiasts, the parent that doesn't understand what's wrong with typical fast food meals, and everyone in between.

So in short, that's why I'm here. I hope you've realized you'd like to stick around too and see what this is really all about and most of all leave your input, as community feedback is what I need the most.

  1. i love this idea as this topic/issue is very important to me.
    number one is education about your food, where it comes from, how it is made, etc. i think is what needed. secondly, access. having access to CSA's, farmers markets, cooking classes is something that i believe KC does well at and could do even better.

    i look forward to your future posts girl! high five :)
