About

This blog is all about the F’s:  Family, Food, Fitness & Fun!  Ok, and sometimes FurKids (our beloved companion animals).  And here’s why:

Jeff and I were married in May of 2011.   We live in the Twin Cities, and have lots of family nearby, including twin nieces, and a nephew – we are new to the aunt & uncle gig and we are LOVING IT!

I’m vegan, Jeff is an omnivore (leaning pescatarian), and we keep a vegetarian household.  I love cooking and baking, and pride myself on being able to show people who are skeptical of vegan food just how amazing it is. I especially love taking a completely non-vegan recipe and making it vegan.  Jeff is passionate about organic and all-natural, healthy food. So while I love my comfort food, his tastes have definitely influenced my cooking these past several years.

We recently started working out at a CrossFit gym, and so far we’re loving it!  We love being active in general, but felt like our workouts were getting a little lazy as of late, so we decided to step it up a notch.  After a grueling workout at CrossFit Minnesota, we decided it was just what we needed to get us back into the swing of things.

I’ve always been an “animal person” and have been the proud mom to our cat, Kisa, since 2001, and our dog, Otis, since 2004.  They are adorable and lovable, and both were rescues.  They graciously accepted Jeff into the family in 2008.  Expect to see many pictures of them on this blog!

Thanks for reading!
