Hello, I’m Chelsea. I just received my PhD in Nutrition, and my research focused on - you guessed it - beans! I love to cook, eat, visit farms, travel, and more. I want to share some of my favorite recipes here, with a pinch of the science behind legumes. Read More »

Thank you for the opportunity to share about my research in The Bean Bag! The Nebraska Dry Bean Growers Association does a great job with this quarterly publication. 🫘

I'm not even going to try to pretend I'm cool. Because who needs to be regular cool when instead you can be COOL BEANS?! 🆒🫘

PS In case you are wondering what on earth this is - Pokemon reference. Clearly now that the PhD is done, I make very wise choices of how to spend my time. Like making this graphic. 😁 No regrets.

Over the weekend, I had a fantastic time teaching a bean class for Night at the Museum at Denver Botanic Gardens! 🫘 Yes, I know I look slightly angry/crazed/confused in this photo, but action shots while presenting are not the most flattering, to say the least. 😂 But, hey, at least I'm wearing a cool t-shirt that says "Beans."

Thank you to @denverbotanic for the opportunity to share about BEANS (aka my favorite topic in the world), and to everyone who came out for the class! 🙏 We discussed bean nutrition and the many, MANY human and environmental health benefits of beans. 🌎 Then we enjoyed some tasty pinto bean dip. 😋 Not to mention, trivia with bean-y prizes! 🫘 Personally, I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday night. 😊

GO BEANS!

Beany Buddy enjoyed his first snowy walk this week. We love this time of year! 🫘❄️ Maybe we'll even get to build a Beany Buddy-sized snowman... ☃️

Happy Friday and weekend, friends! May it be full of beans, as always. 😊
