About Janine

I love fresh air, dark chocolate, black coffee, citrus in winter, sourdough, sunrises, broken-in sweaters, cooking, eating, and feeding people. Once upon a time, I was a school-teacher-turned-college-professor, but now I'm a wife, a mom of three young sons, and the creator of this site.

Over the years, I’ve learned how our daily practices—the ritual of eating, moving, how we treat our bodies—can make an enormous difference in how we feel and live each day. In my own journey, I’ve grown deeply passionate about real food, slow living, and natural wellness.

Even so, I know how hard it can be to live well and be well in this fast-paced, packaged-food world. I hope this site will be a useful resource for you, and that we can join hands and walk this path together.
