A favorite podcast!

I love listening to Kris’s podcast! It’s always amazing to me how many ideas and inspiration I get from her. I have her balanced bowls E-book and LOVE it. It’s one of my favorite cookbooks and I just listened to the smoothie podcast and purchased her smoothie E-book. Love her healthy approach and how easy it really can be to prep and provide healthy meals. Thank you for helping me save money and time!

Inspiring!

I have been following Kris and cooking her recipes for a couple of years now. They are always spot on, and many of them have made it onto our family favorite list. This podcast, like everything she does, is high quality. If you’re in a food rut she will get you out of it. Need to brush up on your kitchen skills? She can help you with that. Or maybe you need tips for budgeting your grocery shopping or streamlining your kitchen routine and meal planning. Kris has you covered. Plus she’s just a super kind human. I also highly recommend the cooking club over on Patreon! So worth it!

Finding Joy in the Kitchen as a Mama of 2

I recently started a journey of trying to find more joy while in my kitchen. As a mama of 2 (7mo & 2yo) I spend sooooo much of my time in the kitchen getting food together or cleaning up and truly it’s my least favorite. I love good food but it always tastes better when I don’t have to cook or clean. Finding this podcast and Kris’s IG page has given me hope! With helpful tips and a plethora of recipes, I feel like I am on a path to feel comfortable and dare I say able to find joy in my kitchen for the first time in my life. THANK YOU KRIS! 🤍👩🏼‍🍳
