Yesterday’s Around the Kitchen Table snack 🍅

Crispy parmesan tomato crisps was the goal, but part of experimenting with new recipes and cooking techniques is figuring out what works best! We used an oven which yielded more of a mini pizza snack rather than a “crisp”. But hey, no complaints here 🍕

Have access to a dehydrator? That might give you more of that “crisp” factor in less time. Sometimes you just have to work with what you have! Happy experimenting!

Combine everything except the chocolate chips in a bowl(or stand mixer if your double/tripling the recipe). Stir in the chocolate chips in the end before making them into little balls!

We recommend using mini dark chocolate chips 😋

Meet Exec!

This is Hailie, a dietetics major and our Secretary for NHPA!

A little about Hailie:

“I first became interested in nutrition as a cross country runner in high school. Through my coach’s instruction to eat a balanced diet, I saw the direct relationship nutrition had not only on my athletic performance, but all aspects of my life. Entering college, my passion for nutrition led me to pursue a career as a registered dietitian. As a dietitian, I want to educate people on proper nutrition to help them reach their full potential in life. I am inspired from the effect nutrition has had on my own life, and I want to help others see healthy eating not as a chore but a sustainable lifestyle.

In my free time, I love being active! My favorite activities are running and golf.

I am looking forward to getting to know everyone in the club and proving members with opportunities that will set them up for success in their future careers!”

Meet Exec!

This is Jen Holguin, our Primary Programmer for NHPA!

A little about Jen:

“My major is nutrition and health science. I’m specializing in dietetics. One of the first things I remember learning at the beginning of my academic career was that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. That chapter also taught me that most of the nutrition related diseases we are faced with can be prevented, or at least delayed if we maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. To say less, I was convinced that I would spend the next years of my life learning about nutrition and health science so that I could then teach many others how to commit to a lifetime of fitness and wellbeing. To help others find a realistic balance (like I’m trying to BALANCE in this picture) between life, exercise, proper nutrition, and overall wellbeing.

As the primary programmer for NHPA, I look forward to organizing events that will be educational and inspirational as we make our way to become young professionals. I also look forward to getting to know those of you interested in the same purpose so we can do great things together.”
