Hi, I’m Kali. I’m a marketing manager with a love of food and cooking. I am also someone who struggles with weight management and food addiction. This is my space to celebrate my love of cooking from scratch, self-care, and honest talk about what it’s like to be overweight.

My blog philosophy doesn’t include 27 photos of the same dish at different angles. I’ll keep it short and to the point for recipes, and try to remain eloquent and relevant on my articles. I keep it real to my truth and am here to connect with others who never feel like they can measure up to the Instagram-perfection of food and fitness bloggers.

I currently live in Eugene, OR and find things to love about it (the mountains and lakes, the easy lifestyle, the liberal and generous people, the theater community), but often miss big city life. I am also a Navy veteran, an actor, an MBA holder, and a culinary school graduate. My main influencers are Anthony Bourdain, Smitten Kitchen, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Lindy West.
