• Welcome!

  My name is Winnie Abramson. This blog was once my full-time job but things have changed in the past few years: I'm currently a full-time nutrition coach for Stronger U Nutrition and a "sometimes" blogger here at HGK. Thanks for checking out my blog and please be in touch if you have any questions about nutrition coaching or recipes.
