I’m so excited you’re here!

A bit about me - I am a California girl turned Texan! While San Diego will always have a piece of my heart, Austin is home to me. I moved here in 2018 after graduating from Clemson University with a bachelors degree in Marketing. I graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition as a certified health coach in November 2020 and am currently working in marketing at a pharmaceutical company in downtown Austin. My background is in event marketing, but I have always had a love and passion for the latest health trends, recipe development and helping others feel their best in mind, body and spirit. You can find me taking a spin or yoga class, reading a good book by the lake, trying out a new recipe in my kitchen, or grabbing lunch at one of Austin’s many healthy & tasty restaurants.

I started this blog as a way to share with all of you my passion for cooking, wellness, and making healthy habits simplified and more accessible. Since struggling with several food allergies and hormone imbalances, I eat a primarily gluten and dairy-free diet. Thus, all of the recipes you see here will be free of those allergens. That said, I want this to be a place where you come for inspiration for simple and quick recipes that will nourish you and your loved ones without compromising taste or feeling restricted in what you can eat. If you want to know tips for meal prepping for the week or how to make a morning smoothie part of your routine, follow along with me. I’m so glad you’re here!
