Hi there, I'm Michelle ~ welcome to my FoodSocial page! My recipe creating started out as a "Mom on a mission" for me to help my youngest daughter, Makenna, alleviate issues she was having after high school in 2013 when she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. She and I took her health into our own hands, after months of medical procedures and prescription meds that were not getting the job done. In the end, we were successful using real food and lotsa love to make sure the healing process was enjoyable and tasty. On January 1, 2014, I began this journey with Makenna, recreating family recipes so she could still enjoy them. Our blog and IG were born in early 2015 so we could share our recipes. Almost a decade later, Makenna has grown up, is married and continues to feel so good. Since then, I continue to enjoy creating comfort food forward recipes that can help you feel better on the inside. Over 300 recipes and two cookbooks later, I couldn’t ever have imagined her feeling so horrible would lead me on such an incredible food journey!
