Make Your Favorite Foods Fit

Incorporating your favorite foods (like banana pudding) doesn’t mean you’re “falling off track,” it means you’re building a lifestyle you can actually stick with. By making small, intentional tweaks to lighten up the foods you already love, you create space to enjoy them regularly without guilt or the feeling that you’re constantly dieting.

This approach allows you to live your life, celebrate food, and still work toward your health goals, because sustainability will always win over restriction. When food fits into your life instead of controlling it, that’s when real progress happens.

New Here?

If you are new here, welcome to My Bizzy Kitchen! I started this blog 16 years ago to document my recipes and daily life, never imagining it would one day become my full-time career. After losing my husband 11 years ago, I navigated the hardest chapter of my life while still finding joy in cooking and sharing my journey.

In December 2020, I took a leap of faith and left my 30-year career as a legal secretary to pursue My Bizzy Kitchen full-time, a decision that changed my life.

Two years later, in October 2022, I was able to hire my daughter, Hannah, full-time, which brings me so much joy. Now, My Bizzy Kitchen is more than just recipes.  It’s about embracing life, finding balance, and making healthy living sustainable and fun.
