GIRLFRIEND’S GUIDE TO MAKING A LOW CARB BAKED CREAM CHEESE SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

HOLY GUACAMOLE. Is it ONLY hump day??!!

It has been a pretty hectic week…

I started my two internships ( deets on my 2 internships in NY last year ) on Monday. This summer, I’m interning for Jenny Westerkamp, RDN, founder of All Access Internships and the Bulls dietitian. I’m also interning for Dawn Jackson Blatner, RDN, author, Cubs dietitian, and TV host.

I’m also in the process of preparing for my dietetic internship at Loyola which starts in the fall. I have to submit all my immunizations, take a food safety exam, and become CPR certified before I start my Loyola internship…
