Welcome to Dietitian Debbie Dishes!
I am Deborah (Debbie) Davis the blogger behind Dietitian Debbie Dishes. I am so happy you are here! However you found me, I hope you’ll pull up a chair, grab a mug of coffee, and stay with me awhile. As you may be able to tell from my posts, I love to eat! I started blogging as a way to keep in touch with my family back home in Pennsylvania when I took a dietitian job in Memphis, Tennessee and now in Chicago, Illinois. Over time, it also became a creative way to share new foods and recipes as well as some fun nutrition facts. I have learned a lot over the last 2 years of blogging and hope to keep learning as I go!
My journey to become a registered dietitian started in high school. I developed an interest in cooking and fell in love with trying to figure out how to cook healthier. Every month I would spend hours reading Cooking Light and trying my best to recreate dishes in the kitchen. I was also one of those geeks who liked science, so I decided dietetics would be perfect blend of those two interests. I was right! I completed my undergraduate degree in dietetics at Bluffton University in Ohio. After graduation, I was accepted into the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center dietetic internship. Although I wasn’t looking to pursue a Master’s, this one happened to be combined with a Master’s in nutrition program through Case Western Reserve University. So, I figured – why not? Post internship and grad school I applied to jobs all over the US. I was interested in staying with the Veterans Affairs health system, so I accepted a job offer in Memphis, Tennessee. Two years later, I made another big transition and moved to Chicago, Illinois with my boyfriend, Will. I was really lucky to be able to continue my career with the VA at the Hines VA Medical Center in Chicago, where I am now!
In this blog, I like to share my experiments with new recipes and my thoughts on books, nutrition, fitness, health, and more. My boyfriend, Will (also a dietitian) often experiments in the kitchen with me! Things get pretty interesting around here when trying to make one meal fit both vegetarian and low-carb diet restrictions!
