my name is Carissa, I'm married to my high school sweetheart Nick and we have two wildly beautiful and joyful kiddos! We live outside of Greenville, SC and we absolutely love it! I'm a photographer and recipe creator/taster/photographer/coach! I love the Lord and find so much joy in these creative outlets.

Although if you're a mom then you already know that the role of being a mama is the absolute best role you could have. My sweet & spicy Olivia is 6 years old, and my chill and loving little man is three! And we have one on the way!!!!!
I am teaching them every day to learn and love real food and all the beautiful things it does for our bodies. Also chasing, teaching, and laughing with them always. 
I've lost over 100 pounds eating real food!! It's a beautiful way to transform your life from the inside out- trust me you will never regret learning to eat real food!
I am beyond blessed and thrilled that you are joining me here!! You can read my getting healthy journey here!

Hugs, 
Carissa

    Do the work, understand that it is work. and it's work that pays off! 
    The more you do it the easier it will become and the easier it will be to whip something up on the fly even without a recipe! 

    Whip it up

    If there is any cutting/washing that could be done ahead of time (or if you're using the same veggie twice in a week ) then go ahead and do it all at once! 
    Make ahead muffins,pancakes,breads,oatmeal mixes,chia pudding etc.

    If you're not prepared then its going to make eating at home difficult and make you want to grab convenience or fast food! Keep simple ingredients on hand and make your meal plan & then shop for at least a weeks worth of groceries!
