Nourishing our bodies and minds is the cornerstone to being the best versions of ourselves. And maintaining sustainable changes with regards to proper nutrition and physical activity is central to supporting personal wellness.

Part of that sustainable change is honoring the many roles food plays in our lives while respecting our biology. This has inspired me to get creative in the kitchen with whole foods and create simple, nourishing, and delicious dishes. My mission at B+A is to share planning and preparation methods, and recipes that feel good and taste good, to encourage wellness in your life.

More about Me

I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Health Studies; fitness and nutrition have always been passions of mine. Aside from developing new recipes, I enjoy learning about science-backed wellness, and love to exercise and physically challenge myself. I value my time in nature, and love to spend time with my family and friends.

I just welcomed my third child to the world and being a new mom feels incredible! My family has taught me to see the world as it should be – a place of joy, learning and adventure!

My life adventures have taken me from my hometown in Michigan, to the East Coast, and back to the Midwest. I am now settled in Chicago, Illinois.

I live with my amazing husband, our three beautiful children and our funny cat, Persephone – aka, my test subjects!

I hope to inspire you in your abode to Eat Well and Live Well. Thanks for stopping by!
