Welcome to Mama Kat’s Kitchen!

Mama Kat’s Kitchen has changed over the years, and maybe you can relate. When I was in my early 20’s I focused on casseroles and quick/cheap, easy meals. Newly married and broke was the name of the game. So was gaining weight! In my late 20’s early 30’s babies came and life was beyond busy. Quick, easy and cheap dinners again because there was no time to spend in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. Babies need momma!!

Weight stayed on and even invited a few ~~pounds~~, I mean friends over. Enter the wonderful 40’s and kids are grown now and I can focus more on ME and those extra pounds. I discovered nutrition and healthy eating but also discovered WINE. Oh dear.

Around that time (yes, early onset – check out my Menopause page) Menopause also struck and, well…there went the best laid plans of ME. Until about a year later when balance came into my life and a commitment to a good healthy diet full of clean, whole and nutritious food was the name of the healthy living game.

Recipes in Mama Kat’s kitchen will feature nutritious food, healthy food, clean eating food. Food that has enabled me to drop over 45 lbs, lower my cholesterol into very acceptable ranges and my blood pressure is amazing again. PLUS, I found my figure and you can too…if you lost it.
