Hi, I’m Nikki — chef, mom, and chaos coordinator in chief. If your life is anything like mine, then you’re juggling meal planning with lacrosse practice, grocery runs with work calls, and just trying to get everyone fed without losing your mind. Welcome, friend. You’re in the right place.
Real Food. Real Life. was born out of a deep love for good food and real living — the kind that’s messy, loud, beautiful, and fueled by snacks that didn’t come from a vending machine. Whether you’re racing to get dinner on the table, or packing meals for your next outdoor adventure, my mission is simple: make it easier. No guilt. No guesswork. Just real food that works with your real life.
Here, I’ll be sharing:
- Quick, healthy meals your family will actually eat (yes, even the picky ones)
- Tips for feeding your crew on the go (from lacrosse fields to trailheads)
- Stories from our wild family adventures
- And a little tough love encouragement — because we all need that sometimes
This space is for the moms, the caretakers, the planners, and the dreamers. You’re doing your best — and that’s more than enough.
Let’s nourish and navigate this life together.
xo, NikkiT
