- spread love wherever you go
let no one come to you without leaving happier.
A Slice of Life in the Kirstein Home
When baking, you follow directions. When cooking, you go by taste. I am the baker. Kyle is the cook. We balance with food at the center of our strengths.
Kyle’s and my personalities could not be more different. We met and fell in love in college and just celebrated five years of marriage. Through all our years together, he has been the ying to my yang. I am a dreamer, he is a realist. Opposites attract, and for good reason.
"The dreamer's need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists? Well without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground." - Modern Family
We are blessed with a life that works for us.
I started this blog to document our recipes and our growth as a family. Selfishly, I did not want to forget these delicious concoctions and the world might enjoy them too. I hope you enjoy my motherhood moments, wellness reflections and yummy recipes.
If you try out any of our recipes or recommendations, have a suggestion for an ingredient substitute, a future recipe you want to see, or have any questions about our content, please leave a comment or email kristine.kirstein@gmail.com. If you make anything, please tag me on social media @KristineKirstein. We love to hear if the recipes are working for you!
Kyle and I are always looking to learn and incorporate new ideas to spice up our meals, treats and daily life routines.
This blog is intended to inspire and inform by sharing:

- healthy recipes and delicious treats
- joys and bittersweet challenges of motherhood and infertility
- best practices for health and wellness
- why and how I’ve made the purposeful decision to live cleaner

Love, Kristine Kirstein
