Nathan's Interests
General
Eating healthy is easy when we have access to farmers' markets but during the winter months, for a large percentage of the country, this not an option. I have the answer. The healthiest, and least expensive way to shop in the supermarkets is called perimeter shopping. The floor plan of every grocery store that I have ever shopped in is generally the same. As you walk around the store do your best to stay clear of the aisles and stay only to the outside perimeter of the store as you shop. It is there, in the perimeter, where you will find fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs and dairy products, fish and meats, and usually whole grains and breads too! In the middle of the store you will find mostly processed foods, which are higher in price and lower in nutritional value. One loop around and you're done.
About me: I grew up in Arlington, Virginia where I first learned about seasonal produce in my grandparents' garden located only four houses down the street. Driving to my great-grandmother's farm in the Shenandoah Valley helped me appreciate where my food comes from, and exactly how much effort it takes to produce healthy seasonal food. I love sharing the knowledge that I have gained over the years to help others make healthy choices, then ultimately how to best coax out the full flavor that fresh foods have to offer. I enjoy the outdoors - anywhere, love my family, and look forward to spending time with good friends over a nice glass of wine.
Hey man, haven't heard from you in a while...hope everything is going well. Let me know what you've been doing these past couple of months :) Take care!
Thanks for the add! I love your show, I think my favorite was the one on avacadoes. I've been looking for a while for recipes that were not only healthy but genuinely looked like they tasted amazing. I'm excited to try a few out soon. ;) Good luck with all of your endeavors! -Laura PS: LOVED THE BLOOPER REEL!!! lol
I love watching your show. Since I started watching I have been using your receipes every chance I get. It has not only improved my health but changed my grocery shopping habit. I now look to my local farmers to buy the freshes fruit and veges. Thanks!
I love your rustic, fresh approach to cooking, as well as your appreciation for fresh food & ingredients! I came across a magazine that I'm certain you'll enjoy (if you don't already), "CLEAN EATING". www. cleaneatingmag. com 1.800.728. 2729
so- i just realized that I already thanked you for the add- not that there's ne thing wrong with thanking you twice, but it is kinda weird!! So hopefully you'll just erase that comment! lol!!
Hello to my new eco-friendly cyber friend. Just wanted to let you know that you inspired us to grow our own organic garden this year... and it's producing WAY more food than any of our previous attempts at gardening! THANKS!!!
Thanks for being our friend. Shame I can't see your show over here - overcoming fear of cooking and familiarising people with simple, basic but gloriously tasty food from Nature's Pantry is totally what we are about. All the best from the English veggie patch.
Thanks Nathan for the add. My friend Ashleigh has told me a lot about you and just so happen I caught a show on FitTv and was very impressed!! Look forward to seeing more!!
Nathan! Your own show, how wonderful. I don't get cable so I've not had a chance to see it. But I'm sure with your spicy personality it's very well seasoned!! ;)
Nathan, I tried the Chili-Rubbed Steak and Rosemary Potatoes recipes out on my family last night and my "Grill King" husband was even impressed with the incredible steak! Love your show! Brandy in TX.
you rock nathan! you should do a fun and fresh twist with a thai theme.. like Pad Kee Mao or Choo-Chee Plah Ga-Pong... i'm sure you could do AMAZING things with those. take care! hope your week is treating you well man!
It was great seeing you Nathan! Give me a call next time you are in Arlington...
Oh by the way...I am starting a new job on Monday. I will be in Laguna Beach for business the last week in March. How far are you from there? Any good places to visit/eat around there? I'm staying at the Montage Resort.
