Joanie Simon in the kitchen

hey there!

I'm Joanie.

After years of trying to eat "healthy," which always meant restriction, I learned it was balance my body needed. Balanced blood sugar gave me back my energy and reduced inflammation without giving up the foods I love.

I share my best recipes here, from easy weeknight dinners to worth-it treats. You deserve to feel your best!
