Yesterday took me back to the doctor to discuss my favorite(no not really) topic: hypothyroid. My blood tests from a few weeks ago came back with much lower levels, thankfully. However, I’m not out of the woods yet. I am really only halfway to the normal level. I started at a TSH of 5, and I need to come down as close to 1 as possible. I came in at a 2.8 this go around. Overall I have been feeling much better, but still not 100% back to normal. The doctor decided to up my dosage a little to see if that helps with the afternoon slumps I’ve been having as of late. All in all, good news for me. I’m going to keep diligently taking my pills and working on healthy eating and exercise. Look out thyroid, we’re kicking it into high gear!


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.
