Welcome
Hi, I’m Chris
Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m Chris, a German-born and raised, Australia-living mum of two energetic young girls. They are the absolute loves of my life, and just as demanding as every other kid out there! The struggle is real!
My blog is all about bringing the joy of slow, wholesome cooking into our busy, modern lives—because, while I do appreciate modern conveniences, I believe that the processed foods that come with them aren’t doing us any favours. That’s why you’ll find plenty of hearty, old-school recipes here, made with real, simple ingredients.

Where it all began
When I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, I didn’t want to be put on medication. I knew I could find a way to completely manage the disease through whole foods and cooking from scratch. It’s been a journey, but it’s also become a passion that I’m excited to share with others.
Beyond food, I’m all about creating a simpler, more natural home. I love ditching plastics and chemicals wherever I can, making my own beauty products, and crafting homemade decorations that bring warmth and charm to my space. If you’re into sustainable living, or just looking for ways to simplify your life while keeping things fun and real, you’re in the right place.
So, grab a cup of tea (or maybe a bowl of homemade soup), and let’s dive into this journey together! Whether you’re here for the recipes, the DIYs, or just some cozy inspiration, I’m so happy to have you along for the ride.
