Hi, I'm Meg! I have a background in nutrition (B.S. in Dietetics, Cal Poly, SLO) with a passion for healthy, plant-based eating. I love getting creative in the kitchen, developing delicious and nutritious recipes using the fresh produce Southern California has to offer. As a GenXer who cares deeply about the environment, I believe in promoting healthy eating habits and STEM education to our next generation. It's important to empower young people to be responsible stewards of our planet! My website is a vibrant collection of experiences, showcasing fun and creative projects, healthy recipes, and the occasional adventure (or "boondoggle" as I like to call them!). I love sharing my passion for food, health, and science with my audience.
