Tailgating Can Be Fun and Nutritious!
Ellen’s Healthy Tip for September 20th, 2006:
Quoting the American Dietetic Association:
“One of the highlights of fall weekends is football, and a big part of football is tailgating. So load up the cooler, pack the picnic basket and get ready for an afternoon of food, drink and football. For healthy appetizers at your tailgate, bring tortilla roll-ups made with flour tortillas that are filled with lettuce, salsa, refried beans and low-fat cheese. Another option is hummus with pita chips or a yogurt veggie dip. For the main meal, pack lean meat or tuna sandwiches on whole-grain bread or three-bean chili. Add lots of fruit, vegetable pieces or a salad and whole-grain bread with the chili. For a sweet ending just before kickoff, bring angel food cake.”

I just completed my B.S. Degree at Miss State in Nutrition. I was the president of the MSU Student Dietetic Association and the Outstanding Dietetic Student for the State of Mississippi. I also led, "Cooking with Ellen" a healthy cooking segment on our local news station throughout my senior year. I am now a dietetic intern studying to be a Registered Dietetian (hopefully by around June 2008). I love cooking, learning about nutrition and healthy eating, and sharing my skills with others.
