About Cheerful Choices Food and Nutrition Blog

hi there!

I'm Mackenzie!

My name is Mackenzie Burgess and I'm the face behind "Cheerful Choices". I like to consider myself the "customizable" dietitian!

Here you'll find healthy recipes with flexible ingredients "of your choice".

A few things about me:

I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) - the true experts on food and nutrition. On top of being a dietitian, I'm certified in culinary nutrition education, making me your go-to expert to learn healthy recipes from!

I love to perform live cooking demos on the news and provide quotes for hundreds of top media outlets
I believe balance is key. I want you to choose foods that will both nourish you and fulfill your cravings. Think: sustainable + satisfying choices

what does "Cheerful Choices" mean?

Forget rigid recipes! I'm all about working with your dietary preferences + using up food already in your kitchen.

That's why my recipes provide options for various ingredients "of your choice".
