Welcome

Hi! I’m Kris, a geeky mom on a mission – to discover how we can be inspired to eat better instead of feeling like something we need to check off our to do list – or neglect to and beat ourselves up about it.

My passion for food and eating veggies came later in life after I got married and learned how to cook which transformed me from finicky eater to foodie to culinary professional – working at local cooking school when I can find time between my marketing day job and family. Now a family to feed, tired of multiple trips on the weight roller coaster (with more to lose), I’m determined to make small changes that will last a lifetime.

Evolution of say yum!

Say yum began in 2005 as a geeky experiment between a young couple exploring the world of podcasting. Shortly after its inception, and appearing on the front page of the New York Times, I was pregnant. It was the end of the original say yum, and the beginning of a long journey to say yum 2.0, which tackles the challenges of being a healthy parent, inside and out.

What you’ll find on say yum!

You’ll find solutions and solace from one foodie mama on a journey to become healthy inside + out. I’m sharing family and figure-friendly recipes, healthy successes + lessons learned. As a working mom tired of re-gaining weight, I spend lots of time at the mental gym working on a healthier mindset, making better food choices + savoring indulgences both at home and away and sharing the ups and downs along life’s path.
