Welcome to our official website! Make sure you update your bookmarks and Google Reader feeds!
Hello! My name is Karen, I’m 26 and currently live in Austin, Texas with my husband. When I’m not working as a nanny, you can usually find me in the kitchen. This blog is where I share my love of cooking, nutrition, and domestication. I'll share my favorite recipes, how-to-photos, and any tips and tricks I pick-up along the way. I hope this blog inspires others to spend more time in the kitchen cooking delicious food. While I strive for optimal nutrition, I also love to bake. I've recently got gluten free and dairy free, as well as refocused my diet on mostly plant based nutrients with high-quality meats for protein. I hope this blog inspires others to get back into the kitchen.
