Hi there, and welcome to my little corner of the internet! My name is Nicole, and I’m a 29-year-old mom of two, born and raised in the breathtaking state of Colorado. Between chasing after my kids, soaking up the mountain air, and squeezing in some creative time with a paintbrush or camera, you’ll usually find me in the kitchen—my happy place.

Cooking and baking have always been a creative outlet for me, but they took on a whole new meaning when my daughter and partner were diagnosed with food allergies. That’s when I rolled up my sleeves and decided to make food fun, safe, and inclusive for everyone at our table. Navigating the world of meal prep with dietary restrictions can be daunting, but it’s also been a rewarding challenge that’s taught me a lot about flexibility and innovation in the kitchen.

Here on the blog, you’ll find recipes that are not just delicious but also adaptable. Whether you’re gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, or managing other allergies, I’ve got you covered. Most of my recipes include tips for swapping and substituting ingredients to make them work for your family’s needs. My goal is to make cooking and baking accessible, fun, and stress-free for everyone—no matter what’s on your “no-go” list.

Beyond the recipes, this blog is about connection and community. I believe that food brings people together, and I hope this space becomes a place where you feel inspired, supported, and maybe even a little adventurous in the kitchen. Let’s embrace the mess, celebrate the wins, and create something wonderful together—one recipe at a time.

Thank you for letting me be part of your journey—I can’t wait to see what you’ll whip up!
