Welcome :) My name is Cara. I am currently on track to earn my Master of Science in Nutrition. My goal is to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.

My interest in nutrition began after being diagnosed with food allergies and an autoimmune condition.

With multiple dietary restrictions and needs, I started to cook and eat more at home. Over time, I have come to enjoy making my own food, testing out and trying new things, and recreating my once favorite foods.

Making meals at home can be very time consuming. With other responsibilities, cooking and preparing food may feel like an extra chore. I try to keep my recipes simple and enjoyable, but still balanced with a variety of nutrients.

I started Effortless Eats® to share my recipes. Whether you follow them exactly or merely use them as inspiration for your own, I hope you find some you enjoy!
