Hello and welcome to The Real Meal—I’m happy you’re here. The Real Meal was built as a space to talk about all things food in an approachable, informative, and enjoyable way.

Real Food

I love cooking with real food—fruits, veggies, meat, poultry, fish, nuts, oils, grains, and so much more. I understand the importance of utilizing whole food ingredients because our bodies can easily understand and process them! Although I love my veggies, you will definitely see me enjoying a chocolaty dessert whenever possible. It’s all about balance!

Real Tips

My goal is to provide home cooks with real, practical kitchen tips that make cooking approachable and enjoyable. You’ll find articles discussing cooking foundations, tried-and-true kitchen tips, and even entire menus with helpful guidelines so you can start cooking with confidence.

Real Cooking

Although preparing a three-course fancy dinner is fun on occasion, it definitely is not realistic. I want to share the real habits of home cooks, meal prepping musts, or how to throw together nutritious meals on-the-fly with what you have leftover in your fridge. The Real Meal helps take the guesswork out of the kitchen and boost home cook’s confidence so you can rely on your strong cooking knowledge instead of exact recipes.

The Real Meal is committed to continually learning about food and sharing helpful tips so you can enjoy your time in the kitchen. As always, I want to hear from you! Comment below or connect with me via the website or social media with your questions, cool cooking tips, suggestions for articles, or just to say hi. Welcome to The Real Meal community!
