Hello! My name is Candie.

I love to cook, eat, and share the joy that food brings me. I know that food can sometimes feel challenging, but I believe that every part of the journey—from shopping and storing to preparing and eating—can be enjoyable. Whether you're making a quick snack, hosting a dinner party, or preparing lunch for the kids, you’ll find fun, easy recipes and tips here.

Join me as I share whole-food recipes, DIY home products, and book reviews from our home in Hawaii. Let’s discover the joy of real food together, one meal at a time.
