This is a collection of real-world, make-at-home-with-normal-utensils, unbelievably-yummy-yet-healthy (most of the time) recipes.

I will never claim myself as a culinary expert. Nor will I endeavor to be one. I simply like to eat. I’m just a girl from the midwest who moved to LA and is figuring out how to bring the warmth and satisfaction of down-home-cooking comfort foods into the health-conscious obsessiveness of Southern California. And I’m having a blast doing it.
