About Karen

I am a registered dietitian.  I am a food writer and cooking class instructor.  I am a mother to five awesome kids, mother-in-law to two amazing women and Nana to Ollie, Maya, Coco and twins Samantha and Tess.  I am wife to Michael, my mountain man who brought me to beautiful Boise, Idaho over 40 years ago from Southern California.  I love to cook, play tennis and grow a killer perennial garden.

Throughout my professional career, I’ve had the privilege of helping folks learn how to make peace with food, to get off diets, to finally enjoy eating again and to gain the confidence in themselves that they’ve been dreaming of.

Also I hope you spend a lot of time exploring and enjoying the YUMMY recipes I’ve created over the past several years.  Sharing healthful recipes is another fabulous way to teach and inspire others to know what to eat and to do it simply, with fresh ingredients that nourish and heal the body and that taste AMAZING!

From my kitchen to yours, I look forward to sharing our journeys together.
