This past April, I decided to take on the Whole30 challenge. The previous summer, I had gotten really sick, and still wasn’t feeling back to gold. Because I was tired of feeling tired, I kind of figured that I had nothing to lose. I knew […]

This finely shredded coleslaw was a quick and easy side to make when I was serving a big group of people a few weeks ago. We especially liked it the day after I made it once all the flavors had a chance to mix together! […]

I tried these banana muffins as a first attempt to make grain free muffins. Not only were they the most moist muffins I’ve made to date, they were sweet, even though they have no added sugar. Those overripe bananas made them perfectly sweet! And the […]
I discovered this nifty gadget called a spiralizer while looking for recipes during my Whole30 reset. I kept seeing “zoodles” and got intrigued enough to do some investigating into what a spiralizer is and why I might need one. I put it on my wish […]
Zoodle With Broccoli and Parmesan is a variation of the first recipe I tried using a spiralizer. This variation was a huge hit with my fifteen year old son! We use half zucchini noodles and half squash noodles, but there is no reason why you […]
The Standard American Diet, with the ironic acronym of SAD, is the stereotypical diet of most Americans, as well as other nations around the world that are slowly adopting our way of eating. The Standard American Diet consists of large amounts of meat, dairy, fat, […]
Launch day at Meet You In My Kitchen is here! I’ve been working like a madwoman to get ready for this. I’d forgotten how much work there is to get a website up and running. Meet You In My Kitchen isn’t perfect yet! I still have so much […]

Hey there! My name is Stacie. (That's me with my two AMAZING kidlets in our kitchen up there!) I'm a busy mom blogging about food. No, it's not because I love to eat (but I DO!) and it's not because I'm a really creative chef (I'm not even a chef!). I'm also not a doctor or a nutritionist.
What I am is someone who was tired of being tired all the time. (Sound familiar?) So I went on food experiment called Whole30 (total amaze balls).
In the process, I started learning a lot about food (and non-food), where food comes from, what's in it, and how it affects me. While some of what I am learning is downright terrifying (GMO's, anyone?), there are a ton of bits and pieces that really get me fired up to make healthier food choices. (Did you know that your body knows to take the pigment from blueberries straight to your brain and nervous tissues, the place that needs it the most? How does it know?? Crazy!)
I thought maybe some other moms out there would like to know the things I'm learning, too. I hope sharing this information will help other busy moms make healthier choices about what food to buy and prepare for their families. I want to help you make your heart smile, knowing you're helping your family to get or stay healthy! (Smiling hearts are good!)
I believe we can change our lives and prevent or reverse disease by changing the way we eat. Sound like something you want to explore more? Then I will meet YOU in my kitchen!
