Meet Carmen

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to follow along this journey of health and wellness. I’m Carmen, a wife, mom, feeding & nutrition educator. As a Speech-Language Pathologist and Certified Nutrition Specialist® My passion is supporting families during meal time with real food, real ingredients  🙂

My journey into nutrition started well before going back to school for a second Master’s degree. I’ve always had a passion for food. As a Speech-Language Pathologist I work with all ages for speech, language, cognition, dysphagia and feeding related skills. While addressing dysphagia and feeding related skills, I saw a gap in nutrition education and recommendations. 

I’m passionate about food, health and wellness.  I’m passionate about eating local, cooking, and family meals. Here you will find family friendly recipes, no food waste tips, and all things related to clean simple living.

My philosophy is food first. Taking a look at the quality of food you are consuming and how it contributes to how you feel. Eat well to feel well.

I’m the wife to Hiza, a Physical Therapist and owner of Kimbia Physio, and a mother to an independent, loving 5 year old and 1 year old. As a family we enjoy being active whether it is a walk around the neighborhood, hiking, biking, doing in at home garage workout, or going on a family run.
