About Salad Skeptic

Who is a Salad Skeptic? Anyone who wants to enjoy their cooking and eating experience more and make steps to become a happier version of yourself in the kitchen and at the dinner table.

Maybe you are a straight-up salad-hater, or maybe you just want to eat healthier, but all the ‘healthy’ recipes you find look and taste like rabbit food and just aren’t doing it for you. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or bored with your current eating and cooking (or not cooking) habits, and you’re thinking, “There HAS to be a better way.”

Sometimes, cooking and eating can feel debilitating whether you’re a picky eater, feel like a fish out of water in the kitchen, or simply don’t feel like you have the time or energy to eat better.

Luckily, there are plenty of ways to explore and grow to live a healthier and more fulfilling life!

Explore this site to find inspiration for what you might like to try next, find some kitchen zen, learn a bit about nutrition, and explore some nutrient-dense recipes that might just make your food journey more enjoyable while still packing in those good-for-you ingredients.

Meet Kaitlyn

Hi. I’m Kaitlyn (self-proclaimed ‘salad skeptic’), and I used to be a very ‘particular’ eater. (Ok, I was straight-up PICKY.) But I’ve been changing that one adventure and bite at a time!

Being a salad skeptic used to feel frustrating and limiting. Reflecting on the past, I always had a sense of adventure and exploration, but that just did NOT translate to the kitchen or dinner table. Since then, I have been lucky enough to have a couple people in my life whose passion for food has rubbed off over the years, igniting me with that sense of adventure in the wonderful world of food.

These days, I get excited about expanding my diet. I’m intrigued by a nutrient-dense approach to eating. And I’m passionate about navigating a unique journey to an approachably healthy and well-rounded lifestyle.

This is why I want to share my personal experience, tips, food for thought, and favorite recipes that have brought me joy, built my confidence in the kitchen, and make my salivary glands run wild.

So what do you say? Let’s share some struggles, try something new, and celebrate our growth together.

I love my local coffee houses. They are great places to sit, sip, and write more content. When you buy me a coffee, you are supporting me AND these wonderful small businesses. How great is that?

If you’d rather support my taco addiction, consider buying me lunch. As much as I enjoy leftovers for lunch, nothing quite beats street tacos and aguas frescas.

Venturing out to local restaurants is a great way to try new things! When you buy me dinner, I may just find the perfect inspiration for a new post.
