Happy Friday! We made it. Just think, next Friday we have a glorious three-day weekend to look forward to. I woke up bright and early this morning because of a loud garbage truck at 5:30 AM. Now I’m just saying for my lazy sleepy husband (who stays up late) to get up for our morning run! That exclamation mark is forced excitement I promise. Even though I love the feeling of running after I’m done, it’s a struggle to get myself going. I’m hoping today will be the day I achieve my goal of 10 minute miles, all two of them. I was pretty close on Wednesday. I blame the hills we run on, just saying. Okay enough morning ramblings, enjoy your recap and have a fabulous weekend!

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.
