    Holiday Update

    We are now officially less than two weeks away from Christmas day!  2012 has flown by and supposedly even though the Bible states that no man will know the time or day, many believe the Mayans have it all figured out and the 21st of this month is the end of time as we know it.  I’m pretty sure we’ll still be here on the 22nd. 😉 For the next couple of weeks I won’t be posting 5+ times per week.  TSM and I are putting our house on the market the first week of January and are preparing to move down to South Carolina.  I’ll share a little back story as to…

Meet Real Food Girl

Hi! I'm Kristine!

I'm a classically trained chef, who thinks that every aspect of health and wellness starts with food, but I also believe that you need to make room for a slice of cake every once in a while! Join me as I show you how to navigate a realistic and achievable 80/20 Real Food lifestyle, without breaking the bank, losing your sanity, or feeling shame because you can't live up to the "perfection" preached on other Real Food Blogs. Yeah, I went there.
