Hi there and welcome to Cooking With Bliss.

I’m Cree, the recipe developer and food photographer, behind CWB. I use the term food photographer loosely as I’m constantly working on improving my photography skills. Currently, I shoot with my iphone 8, and I have to say it has served me pretty well so far.

I absolutely love cooking and sharing recipes with my family and friends and challenging myself to think outside-the-box when it comes to recipe testing, using different cooking techniques, and playing around with ingredients I wouldn’t ordinarily use.

Fun Fact: I wouldn’t consider myself a coffee drinker, but I’m a little obsessed with Califia Farms Cafe Latte Cold Brew Coffee.

ABOUT COOKING WITH BLISS

My goal is to bring you healthy budget-friendly meals that require 7 ingredients or less and are mostly Whole30 or Whole30-friendly meaning you can easily swamp out certain ingredients to make it Whole30. I completed my first Whole30 this past June (2018) and it was an eye-opening experience. It taught me 3 things that have been life-changing as it relates to food and nutrition overall:

  1. How to build my plate
  2. Easy ways to consume more vegetables in every meal
  3. It doesn’t have to be complicated and keeping it Simple = Success
  4. I don’t have to over-think and to trust myself
  5. I actually have the will-power
  6. There is a light at the end of the tunnel because it’s ONLY for 30 days
  7. Having left-over dinner for breakfast is a life-saver
  8. Healthy fats are important and necessary
  9. Food Freedom is not about feeling shame or guilt if you eat something that doesn’t follow the Whole30 guidelines.
  10. The importance of mindset

What do I cook for my family?

You may be wondering how Whole30 dishes fit into my family’s meals (i.e. do they prefer other meals other than Whole30).  To be honest, this wasn’t a problem at all.  My family eat what I cook which makes it even easier (i.e. the protein and veggies); however, if I think they might like rice or quinoa as an additional side dish then I make it for them.  Now, since I’m in Food Freedom, I may also have it as a side dish if I’m in the mood.  With that being said, I also have a category called ‘Family Recipes’ that I want to share with you as well that you might find helpful.

Although you will see a collection of mostly Whole30 recipes , you’ll find Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, and Dairy-Free recipes that are delicious, simple, and economical.

Cooking healthy meals in the comfort of your kitchen don’t have to be expensive, feel labor-intensive or complicated. So, stick around to see how I do things in my own kitchen.

SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND…

I don’t count water, salt, or optional ingredients toward the 10 ingredient list.
