The backstory.

I started making my own dressings when I realized how easy they are - and how much better they taste than anything from a bottle. It quickly turned into one of those "why didn't I do this sooner?" kitchen habits. Now it's second nature to whisk up a simple salad dressing depending on what's on the menu.

Hey there, I'm Kori.

I’m a culinary school trained chef specializing in holistic nutrition and wellness. I’ve always been a major foodie, and as I’ve aged, the full impact of my love of food—and not-necessarily-healthy eating habits—caught up to me. In an effort to make positive changes in my life (and hopefully yours, too), I created this website where I could share great-tasting, craveable, healthy recipes.
