About April

Hi there and welcome to Eats by April!

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

I’m April and this website is dedicated to healthy snacks and simple meals for your busy family so you can finally ditch the diets for good and get healthy for life.

After years of digging my heels in about cooking healthy meals for my family (that they’d actually eat) and that were healthy and suitable for eating while driving (it happens), Eats by April was born.

Plus, and I’m gonna have to level with you here: I’ve literally tried every diet out there over the years.

Low fat, high fat. High carb, low carb, Atkins, etc, etc, etc.

The problem was I really, really didn’t want to give up carbs!

So for me, the frequent eating of smaller amounts of fueling foods really worked to control my cravings, weight and energy level.

• My thumbs and big toes are mixed up. Shoot me an email to april@eatsbyapril.com and I’ll show you my toe thumbs. Just put “toe thumbs” in the title of the email
• I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Human Nutritional Sciences, a Masters in Public Health, I’m a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator
• For 6 weeks, I cooked meals while staring up at giant, female tarantulas in  Guyana, South America as part of a volunteer program (females are more aggressive than males – they’ll jump on you. No joke)
• I have no tattoos. Once I got a belly piercing and my mom was extremely grossed out. It later got severely infected
• I love fried chicken
• My oldest son looks exactly like my husband (poker straight hair) and my younger one looks like me (super curly mop.) Cameron’s been referred to as a girl so many times in public, I’ve stopped correcting people🤷‍♀️
• Once in grade 8, I got my hair cut so short that people in public referred to ME as my mom’s younger son. I was grateful that she corrected them
• One day, I’d like to have a website all about cupcakes and tacos (www.cupcakesandtacos.com, my friend)  Until then, I’ll keep up with the healthy snacks and simple meals for your busy family so you can finally ditch the diets for good and get healthy for life.
