Hi! I’m Shelby.

I’m a trained Registered Dietitian, mama to 3, and passionate foodie.

I am a trained Registered Dietitian (RD) with the College of Dietitians of Ontario. My working career as an RD was cut short by a debilitating health diagnosis after my 3rd child.

After many years of suffering with chronic pain, it was discovered that I have a genetic pain condition named hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). This condition has affected me greatly, however; my lack of mobility has been the most impacted.

I am sure you all can relate to an area of your life where you do not have full control. This illness for me is one of them.

I was meant to be a dietitian and anticipated having a rock star career. Although that was taken away from me too quickly, I pivoted and used my knowledge and creativity by fueling and creating a home environment for my 3 children and husband with an array of food.

I have and will never let this illness take away my ability to give my body only the best nutrients needed to thrive. I have had to be smart, efficient, and creative to provide healthy meals and snacks to my family.

Presentation of food is what sells and entices my kids to eat and enjoy what they consume.

My passion, zest and positive relationship with putting nutrient dense foods in my body has been with me since I was a young girl.

The purpose of this blog is to make your lives easier and more enjoyable by making nutritious and gorgeous meals that can be made in no time at all.

On days when you are crunched for time or simply exhausted, please never feel guilty about asking for help. My children can all navigate the kitchen with ease and confidence. Let’s support each other and take control of what we put into our bodies.
