My Story…

As someone who has always been interested in nutrition and healthy living, I started developing recipes over the years that fit a clean eating lifestyle but were also simple and would work for my picky kids and husband.  Along the way, I learned how to feed my family well without spending tons of time at the stove fussing over complicated meals.  Then I discovered Whole30 and it was life changing.  Since adopting a clean eating approach to cooking, I feel better than ever, have more energy, and took a stab at living my dream by starting this blog (which was super scary and exciting all at once) and going back to school to study Nutritional Therapy. I even published a clean eating cookbook that was published in 2020.

In short, I believe in using WHOLE FOODS in EASY RECIPES that EVERYONE LOVES.  I truly believe that food can be healing to the body, but I also love and live by the 80/20 rule, because balance is key! 🙂

My Reasons for this Blog…

Here you will find plenty of tasty recipes made with whole ingredients, meal prep tips, and other advice for healthy living.  I hope to inspire others to love cooking and clean eating in a way that is approachable and simple!  As a Mom of two girls, I know the importance of making mealtime not just healthy, but family friendly.  Cooking separate meals to please different members of the family just doesn’t work for me!  The recipes you find here are designed to be eaten and loved by kids as well as adults.

Finding a healthy balance in life can be challenging – we can all use a little help in that department!  I’m passionate about sharing time-saving nutritious recipes and tips with those who want to live a healthy life without added meal time stress.
