My name is Debbie Hanyon, and I am the homeschooling mom of Nathan, my 14-year-old only child. I think he's pretty special. But I guess I'm biased! Anyway, my husband, Ronald, and I are cooking up lots of heatlhy recipes for you, working together on some cool exercise routines as well as creating how-to guides on subjects related to nutrition, food, and exercise. If you stick around, you'll be glad you did, because I have lots information in my little head that I am itching to share with a captive audience. In addition to whipping up thought-provoking articles on nutrition, food science, as well as origins science, I am creating educational materials in order to help you teach your children (of all ages) good nutrition principles.
