Hi. I’m Kirsten. I love experimenting with new flavors, my trusty air fryer, and finding ways to make healthy food actually taste delicious. I absolutely cannot stand cilantro (it tastes like soap, fight me!). So, you won’t find that herb hijacking my recipes here. I’m a busy mom who turned my recipe notebook into a full-blown food blog. I live in the Midwest but grew up along the Gulf Coast, which explains my obsession with seafood and spice.
My two kids, Emma and Liam, are my toughest food critics and growing way too fast. They’ve gone from picky eaters to my little sous chefs, and watching their palates develop brings me endless joy.
My husband, Mike, claims I have too many kitchen gadgets, but magically never complains when dinner hits the table. He’s my number one taste-tester and dishwasher (bless him). I’ve always been passionate about making mealtime special, even on busy weeknights. When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll find me attempting to maintain my herb garden or binge-watching cooking competitions. I also love photography and have been teaching myself food styling – those first blog photos were ROUGH, but we all start somewhere! I believe everyone deserves to eat well, regardless of dietary needs or cooking experience, and I’m here to show you just how simple it can be.
