The Girl

I am Dixya, a twenty some year old, avid food lover

Registered Dietitian by day and available for nutrition consultation to help you reach your nutrition goal

Kitchen experimenter, wanna-be baker, & dish washer by night

...on most days, you will find me eating spinach, peanut butter, chocolate (not together though), organizing to-do lists, on Netflix

Or running around Dallas, training for a race or just for fun 

I have done two half-marathons so far and my goal is to run a full-marathon someday

I always wear my 'lucky' blue tank during a race

Why Food, Pleasure, & Health?

Food, Pleasure, & Health are three very appropriate words that fit into my philosophy!

Kitchen is my happy space..a place where I can unwind,  be creative with ingredients I have available, learn new techniques, get inspired from fellow-bloggers to cook, bake, take pictures, and share with rest of the world. 

I am not a vegetarian or all organic person but I do Meatless Monday  & mostly use unprocessed, fresh ingredients, incorporate whole grains when possible, and go for low fat/sugar & strive to put a healthy twist on not-so-healthy recipes. I am still working on my love-hate relationship with baking. 

Expect to see anything, everything except beef/pork (religious purpose), desserts are always included!

The recipes are either mine or adapted from other bloggers with correct references but they have all been tried & enjoyed in my kitchen.

You can also find me on twitter, facebook, instagram, and pinterest.
