Hey there, I’m McKenzie!

Welcome to my little corner of the internet where food, fun, and balance come together. I’m an overly optimistic, always-curious kind of person with a big passion for food, fitness, and figuring out how to make life just a little bit easier (and tastier).

Let me tell you a bit about me—and why I think you’re going to love it here.

From Triple Axels to Tasty Treats ⛸️🍪

I grew up on the ice as a competitive figure skater, and in my 20s, I traveled the world as a performer with Disney on Ice. Life on the road taught me discipline, creativity, and how to soak up inspiration from everywhere. Eventually, I traded the rink for the tech world, where I discovered a love for innovation (and a good spreadsheet).

But no matter where life took me, food was always my grounding point. In 2019, my husband gave me a DSLR camera, and that’s when things got serious. I started experimenting with healthy swaps and gluten-free baking, and boom—this blog was born.

Why I’m Here (And Why You Should Stick Around) 🍴

I started this blog to share recipes that my friends and family couldn’t stop asking for. My goal? To help you whip up dishes that make your life easier, healthier, and full of flavor. I truly believe food should:

  • Bring you joy (yes, even Monday-night dinners!)
  • Foster creativity
  • Help you create memories
  • Support your health goals
  • And, most importantly, be easy.

If you leave my blog feeling inspired to try something new—or just feeling a little more confident in the kitchen—I’ve done my job.

Why Trust Me? 🤓

Okay, here’s my street cred:

  • I’m an ACE-certified personal trainer with certifications in functional nutrition, TRX, and functional strength coaching (CFSC).
  • I’ve been making healthy swaps and gluten-free recipes for over 10 years.
  • I’m a food nerd at heart, always diving into the science behind nutrition to make sure my recipes are as nourishing as they are delicious.
