I'm Lori Viets (pronounced Veets), and I love helping people discover how to save time in the kitchen creating healthy, delicious, and money-saving meals!

Even though I love to cook and bake, with my busy schedule, I just don't have much time to spend in the kitchen each day.  But I refuse to settle for cardboard box dinners and take-out. 

Would you like to know my secret?  I have a system for creating homemade convenience meals and mixes in bulk, using as many whole grains as possible.  No more stress about what to make for dinner, no more emergency trips to the store or fast food lane. Just great food that feeds your body and soul!

Whether or not you consider yourself a baker, you can enjoy the benefits of what I call a Whole Grain Lifestyle, using grains, grain flours, and bread as a foundation for many simple meals.  And don't worry, even kids and picky eaters will love them.

Whole grains are easier and faster to prepare than you can possibly imagine, and they're such guilt-free comfort foods!  They're so filling, you can't help but eat less food overall. I've even lost three pants sizes in the last two years, eating all the fabulous homemade bread I want.  Nutritious, satisfying, and budget-friendly, whole grains are the ultimate food....you can't beat 'em!

A Little Bit About Me:

Originally from the Great State of Texas, I moved here to Missouri in 1988.  I've been married to David for 14 years, and we have two pre-teen boys, whom we have home schooled since kindergarten.  I was a French major in college, and I love baking, cooking, reading classics and biographies with my kids, chick flicks, travel, culture, and learning about healthy living.
