It has taken me blasted long enough to get this thing up off the ground! Now that I find myself between quarters, enjoying a few days off from the endless piles of homework I have found myself swimming in while completing grad school, I would like to finally say "hello!" and welcome to Happy, Healthy, Hayley.

A little more about me: I currently reside in Seattle, WA in a cozy one-bedroom apartment with my kitty, Chloe, and am working to complete my Master's in Nutrition with hopes of one day becoming a Registered Dietitian! I have set up this website to share some of the recipes I concoct in my tiny kitchen during my free time, as well as to share some thoughts on issues surrounding nutrition. Who knows, I may even be able to wrangle some of my chef friends for guest appearances! Mainly, I find it motivating to share both my successes and my struggles with you, as none of us are perfect and we are all on our own road to health.

I am constantly in the process of evolving myself, and am hoping to share this adventure with you through my words, creations, and probably more than a few silly photos! I will try to keep up with this as best that I can, even if to just give myself some sort of routine in the whirlwind that is a MSN! Thank you for joining me, and feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions for recipes or items to discuss, and I hope our paths cross along this journey to our happiest, healthiest selves.
