Hello everyone! I’m Sara, and I’m glad you’ve found me! My journey to become a Registered Dietitian has been a long and strange one, and it keeps going! I started this blog to document the ups and downs of this journey, as well as have a little fun airing out my weirdness. Use Your Bean is a play on words – using your “bean” (brain) to think about food differently and be full of beans in the figurative (and literal) sense. I am definitely full of all three – brains, legumes, and quirky humor. My goal as an RD is to empower people to make small changes in what they eat to improve their health, and be open to experimentation and curiosity about food. Thanks for stopping by!
