about us
simplified.
we believe there's a balance between the calories in/calories out approach and the idea that not all calories are created equal. while we strive to maintain protein, fat, and calorie totals that match our lifestyle and the recommended averages for healthy, fit, active adults and children, we also firmly adhere to the belief that a gram of fat from an almond and a gram of sugar from a banana is different from that of refined sugar or animal fat.
likewise, we embrace the health benefits of our ingredients that aren't reflected on a traditional nutrition label--flavonoids, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, vitamins, and minerals. nutritional science, more than ever before, is giving us the tools to feel great, to help fuel our bodies, and to totally revolutionize the way we eat. we want to teach our children to value something that comes out of a kitchen and not out of a package, and to re-train our palates and habits to appreciate the subtle goodness and satisfaction of eating healthy. this is simplified.

a certified nutritionist with concentrations in adolescent, sports, and adult nutrition, a fitness enthusiast, and a mom of two, i was unhappy with the packaged options that are so ubiquitous in our fast-paced on-the-go lifestyle. so i set out on a three-year quest to develop recipes that i felt happy about putting into my kids, my husband, and myself. and now i want to share them with you.
in addition to weekly supply for healthy snacks for your family (step away from packaged bars!!), answers to your party needs for treats that don't compromise on nutritional goodness, I also provide nutritional consultations for both adults and children, with goals varying from weight loss to better athletic performance. it's never too late or too hard to change habits.
