Welcome!
I’m Irina. I do all the writing, recipe development and photography here at She Wants To Be Good. And, I’m passionate about healthy and healthy-ish recipes made with wholesome ingredients!
What is healthy eating for me?
Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and pulses (legumes).
Eat sustainable meats, sometimes.
Drink plenty of water.
Have a glass of wine.
It is that simple!
Why “She wants to be good”?
Years ago, when our puppy-dog Tia was about a year old, we took her to a doggy day care. She is a very active dog and we wanted her to have fun playing with other dogs while we were working. One evening, I was picking her up and asked one of the employees “Did Tia have a good day?” The lady looked at me and said “She wants to be good”.
Sometimes I think it could be said about me in my journey to have a healthy lifestyle. But healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or super restrictive. One very important thing I learned long time ago: the more you make from scratch the healthier you will be and the better you will feel.
All recipes I am sharing in this blog are fresh, flavorful, healthy (or healthy-ish) that I love to make and eat. If I wouldn’t eat it, I won’t put in on my blog.
Here you will find everything from comfort food favorites like Vegetable Garden Pasta, Shrimp and Black Bean Quesadillas, Vegetable Ramen Pad Thai, and Chicken Zucchini Fritters to delicious desserts like my Healthier Brownies, Soft Molasses Cookies, Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Bites, and a Blueberry Lemon Cake. Plus many other recipes that are great for holidays, entertaining, and every day meals.
