About Elke

Hi, my name is Elke, pronounced Elka, thanks for visiting my page!

I am 40 years old,  have a handsome husband of 16 years, and four awesome kids, and I love to cook for them….most days.
I have always loved healthy foods but…. Alongside my bag of Doritos, Jiff peanut butter, and a big tub of country crock butter, who knew all that was bad?

After having my firstborn Aubrey I started paying more attention to the labels on our foods and noticed things like “non-GMO,”  and “no MSG”. These sparked my interest and I started investigating. I was surprised at all the harmful ingredients they were adding to our food and everyday products! Don’t these people have families??

I took baby steps in transforming the meals I was putting in front of my family to eat. I got rid of one bad thing at a time, started making more things from scratch, and cleverly snuck good things into my kid’s food to transform it into something healthy. My love for health inspired me to become a Certified Health Coach, which was a big accomplishment with our busy family.

Here I am 10 years later,  not perfect but better off than I was when I started. I am still on this journey to becoming healthy.
