about me

the story behind the blog

After living with chronic health issues for many years, I began to learn how to heal my body naturally through nutrition and lifestyle changes…

My love for cooking began when I was just a little girl. I was obsessed with watching the Food Network and found joy in trying new things out in the kitchen. However, when I was young, I began to struggle with chronic digestive issues that persisted for over 15 years of my life. In my early twenties, my health was a daily struggle. My relationship to food became tumultuous when I struggled to understand what foods were causing my symptoms to flare up. As a necessity to heal from my chronic digestive issues, I cut out ultra-processed foods and began to focus on a whole food, nutrient dense diet, free from dairy, gluten, and refined sugars. Since eating this way for many years, I have been able to put my health issues in remission. I learned how to eat and cook in a way that was fitting to my new lifestyle. Now that I have been eating this way for many years, I want to share the recipes that I’ve adapted, and share with others that they can eat clean without feeling like they’re missing out on their favorite comfort foods. Whether your story is similar to mine and you’re looking for recipes free from dietary triggers, or you’re just looking for simple, whole food recipes, I hope you find something you love from this blog.
