Food for Real People: Easy, Yummy & Mostly Healthy!

About Me

Julie Yates: Hello! I initiated this blog as a way to share quick, easy, healthy, family recipes to my three girls and other welcome friends who happened to stumble upon it. I love to cook (and eat!), but also know what it's like to work full time. As an almost empty nester there are some days where I cook only for two and other days when the girls are home with a bunch of friends. My happiest times are cooking for a houseful of people in a short amount of time. I have developed a few short cuts in order to cook something fast, yummy, yet healthy. As I reflect back on how crazy life could get when the girls were all at home, I strongly feel that sitting down and eating a homemade meal kept our communication open and grounded us. I continue to enjoy making low carb, low fat, and low sugar meals to all my loved ones and guests - and I'm glad to share the recipes! Enjoy!
