Welcome!

Today is the day! I am beyond excited that today is finally launch day! After months and months of website design, content planning, recipe development, recipe testing, and food photos, I am finally ready to share it all with you. WHOOHOOOO!!!!

What originally started as something that I thought would be fun to do has really transformed into something even bigger. I know sharing my paleo recipes and knowledge of a paleo lifestyle is something that will help others either start their paleo journey or add to those that are already on the path of eating paleo.

I know I have shared part of my journey in the About Me page, and I will continue to share more along the way. But, in all honesty, writing recipes began 25 years ago. I remember my then-boyfriend, now-husband, Gary would tell me when I would cook our dinners that he loved all of them. We talked about food constantly, and at one point he said I should open a restaurant. Though that was never my dream, creating recipes is something I have always loved. After going out to dinner, I would immediately try to figure out how to recreate the meal at home, wondering what ingredients were used. I started casually writing my own recipes, thinking someday I would love to write a cookbook.

Fast forward to 2015 when I was diagnosed with my gluten allergy, and well, at that moment, I thought my love of food would never be the same. I was scared. Food was so important to me, as was entertaining my friends and family. And what about my personal chef business? How would I cook for my clients? That is when I knew I had to find a way to not only eat gluten free but eat the foods I had always been eating and loved to make. Around the same time I went paleo due to all of my autoimmune issues. My body felt so much better, and that is when I decided I was going to make this a positive change. I took all of the recipes I had written over the years and converted them all to paleo. Once I did that, I started creating more and more recipes. I was determined that I could cook not only for my family, but also for my clients and friends. Entertaining is part of my soul, and cooking for my family and friends is my love language.

I continued cooking for my clients and adapted my personal chef business to make it work for me. Yes, I love being a personal chef, but my love of creating paleo recipes continues to grow. I want to be able to eat all of the foods I used to eat. I want to be able to share my recipes so that other people have the opportunity to eat what they want to as well. So, Kristin’s Paleo Kitchen was created, and I cannot wait to take you along on this journey.

From my kitchen to yours!
XO, Kristin
