It's A Flavorful Life

Hello and welcome! I’m Erica.

I am a registered dietitian, wife, mom, and internet-taught home cook. I love sharing simple strategies for making food, nutrition and exercise accessible, fun, and DOable!

I’m sure you’re thinking, ‘okay yeah yeah, another girl who likes food and has a food blog.’ Well, it’s not just any food blog y’all. This space is for anyone who loves good food and nourishing meals, free from the noise of diet culture. A space for busy moms who need to get a meal on the table. A place to share dinner ideas, grocery lists, meal plans and a bit of my life. I’m obsessed with this little flavorful corner of the internet, and I hope you stick around to share it with me!

After years of chasing the fads and being confused about what is “healthy,” I decided to dive into the science of nutrition and pursue healing my relationship with food.

I have my Bachelor of Science in Health Science from Whitworth University and my Master of Science in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology from Washington State University.

At my core, I love sharing with the world how ALL foods can fit within a healthy diet and how simple it can be to create meals that are fun and delicious to eat AND full of nutrition.

My passion is always eating to THRIVE and loving every. single. bite.

What you can expect from me:

  • Easy, vibrant, flavorful dinner recipes.
  • Occasional snacks, treats, breakfast and lunch ideas.
  • Holiday menus and recipes (I love entertaining!)
  • Recipe roundups and weekly meal plans (hop on my email list for these!)
  • Dinner party inspiration, day in the life content, what I eat in a day and more – follow me on Instagram for all of this good stuff.

I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband, two sweet daughters and black lab, Griffin.

Things I love: throwing dinner parties, attending dinner parties, game nights, camping, being outside, exercise of almost any kind and of course, food.

I looooove hanging out with y’all on social media, so make sure to come hang out with me and my day-to-day life onย Instagram,ย TikTok,ย andย YouTube!
