About Me
Hi! My name is Emily but I go by Emmy. I’m a 23 year old foodie who grew up baking with my grandmothers and watching Ina Garten with my mom. I love food, and am not the type of person willing to compromise on taste and flavor for health. When I started eating healthy, my goal was just that - how can I eat what I love, and not feel guilty as I’m eating it. Slowly I’ve learned tricks of the healthy trade and now you can find me experimenting with healthy ideas all the time. When I’m at home, cooking, often I’ll just put my laptop on the kitchen counter, put on my favorite Gilmore Girls episode, or The Lumineer’s, jam the volume up loud so I can hear over my Cusinart, and go to work. Smart food, appearance, and tasty bites makes for a great night.
Favorite healthy meal
Any Asian or Indian take on curry.
In the morning you can most often find me eating
Pre-workout (banana and almond butter). Post-workout (bagel and egg sandwich, hash and egg dish, or my pumpkin banana bread ) and a couple bottles of Austin’s Best H20 Topo Chico.
Favorite healthy snack
Chicken salad and crackers, Homemade hummus with zaatar spiced pita chips
To satisfy my sweet tooth, I reach for
I’ll usually make a hot fruit compote topped over ice cream, or homemade muffins, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
