Hello, I’m Anna!
All things food from scratch, old fashioned living, and building a homestead.
Welcome to From Scratch Dietitian, a place where I share from scratch recipes, simple living, and homesteading projects.
If you love growing your own food, sourcing fresh foods that you know and trust, cooking and baking with wholesome ingredients, and understanding the “why” of this way of eating and living, you’ve come to the right place.
ABOUT ME
I’m Anna, a registered dietitian turned homesteader. I used to work as a clinical dietitian at a hospital while dreaming of the homestead life, but that dream is now coming true as I am home raising my babies.
My love for food and nutrition began even as a kid. I always loved baking foods (especially desserts). As a teenager, I dove deeper and became fascinated by the nutrition behind foods. I would research various health and fitness topics, trying to learn more about how food interacted with the body.
I still consider the kitchen my happy place as I prepare food for my family. Experimenting with recipes and gradually switching to more whole ingredients is something I enjoy. These recipes sometimes turn out better than other times (just ask my husband), but we have found some recipes that our family loves and can’t wait to share them with you!
This interest extends beyond just the kitchen though. I have a dream to grow and produce a large amount of the food my family eats in a year. We have a long way to go on this goal, but even though my husband and I live on just over a .5 acre in a subdivision, we have started building out our homestead with a garden and chickens. We have dreams and plans to do so much more and hopefully move to more land one day where we can expand to owning cows and more.
All in all, I just really enjoy pursuing a slower, more simple lifestyle where we eat good food, work hard, and embrace the older traditions that still serve us well today.
Join me on this journey of food from scratch, old fashioned living, and life on our homestead!
