Chicken Me with my Food: chicken skewers with tzatziki sauce!and Me

I may as well confess.

I’m in love with food.

Not all food is created equal however, and the challenge of creating dishes and desserts with healthier and better ingredients is one that I enjoy!

As for my personality?  Hmm.  I’m an oddball mix of crunchy, classy, and quirky.  Yes.  I’ll go with those. ;)

When I’m not whipping up a tasty mess in the kitchen, I can be found with my nose in a good book, adventuring in the outdoors, dishing out some healthy advice with a side of humor, or exploring the city I live in for eclectic and tasty places to eat…

About Living a Renaissance Life

A “renaissance life”, is one that is lived with health, vitality, and joy.

Life empowered.  Life abundant.

Since discovering my own intolerance to various foods and finding health through better eating, I’m passionate about helping others find it too.  So here at Living a Renaissance Life, you will find recipes, ideas, and inspiration about how to live happy and whole by simply eating well.

I personally am gluten-free and dairy-free (dabbling in the raw and grain-free side of things often) but you’ll also find a variety of vegan, paleo, low-sugar, sugar-free, hi-fiber, and hi-protein recipes here that will build health in your body whatever your health goals.

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be complicated.  Being healthy is simply about cultivating a lifestyle full of the high-quality.  I hope Living a Renaissance Life encourages you to that end!
