June is Men’s Health Month! Here are a few tips from our favorite Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Qula Madkin, on things you can do to make your life a little healthier.
If you follow me on social media, you know that I like to celebrate, or recognize, national food holidays or months. Well, the month of February is National Chocolate Lovers’ Month, National Potato Lovers’ Month, National Hot Breakfast Month, Snack Month, Cherry Month and National Canned Food Month! Y’all, who knew celebrating canned foods was a thing? I most certainly didn’t.
Besides preparing for natural disasters, I do not buy many canned goods. However, I do keep a variety of canned beans and peas on hand. I love both, but I am not a fan of the soaking and cooking process. Also, I do keep canned tomatoes (diced, stewed, sauce and paste) on hand to add to different dishes. Hurricane season is probably the only time my pantry is stocked with canned foods. I tend to stock up on canned vegetables, fruits, soups and canned fish. Besides what is already mentioned, I do have a lot of random canned foods in my pantry that I never seem to get around to eating like canned peanuts and sliced bamboo shoots.
Question: What canned foods do you typically keep on hand?
Carrots and ginger are the perfect pairing! As we close out National Soup Month, here is a tasty recipe to try – Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup. Enjoy!
The holiday season is finally here! Many of us have been busy shopping, attending holiday parties, and making final plans for the end of the year. Now it’s time to wind down and enjoy the festivities with our families and friends. Which means some of us will be traveling. If that’s the case, our favorite Mississippi State University Extension Dietitian and Nutrition Instructor, Qula Madkin, has a few tips to help us stay focused on our health and wellness goals—Healthy snacks, water and movement.
Enjoy your holidays!
This Facebook memory is so timely! You see, five years ago, I hosted my very first cooking class. It was supposed to be the first of many. Unfortunately, the others never happened. The timing was never right.
Now, here we are five years later with Nutrition with LaShaundreaB. I guess you can say the timing is finally right to continue what I started. Looking forward to hosting many more cooking classes in the near future – the very near future! Stay tuned.

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of holding a cooking class for members of USM Association of Office Professionals and Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. The attendees prepared healthier versions of holiday side dishes and were educated on the benefits of making healthy nutrition choices and knife skills. We had fun!
Menu: Roasted Autumn Vegetables, Savory Wild Rice, Sautéed Mustard Greens, Sweet Potato Salad, Poached Pears w/Honey & Pecans, Apple Dumplings and Rotisserie Chicken (thanks to Walmart)
