Hi, I’m Alyssa, and I’m Tim, and we are the coconuts behind this site.
Alyssa
Alyssa has been a nut for healthy eating since 2011 when she was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor. She began researching nutrition and experimenting with healthy diets. Quickly, she discovered the benefits of being refined sugar free and is able to leverage her knowledge of the body and health from her years of studying Massage Therapy and Osteopathy. Alyssa is always modifying traditional recipes to make them more healthy, and then making them delicious. We believe that healthy eating does not have to be a sacrifice at all! You can eat just as “well” as everyone else, and with healthy substitutions, you’ll feel great, too. Alyssa is particularly passionate about eating (refined) sugar and dairy-free, so, you can count on recipes that won’t contain those ingredients. She’s an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner by day, and a superhero outside of that. ~ Mr. Coconut
Tim
Tim is a software guy. He helps with the tech side of things on this site to keep it running smoothly. In the kitchen, he is the self-designated “Master Taste Tester” which is actually very helpful. Somehow, his naivety of cooking gives him the ability to provide simple yet insightful feedback. Personally, he loves adventure and is the best sport imaginable. When it comes to trying new and different food he is the perfect guy to have in the house. He’s honest, thoughtful and the best teammate I could ask for in life. ~ Mrs. Coconut
Why We Started
We wanted to combine our talents and create something together, but weren’t sure what, at first. Alyssa was frequently preparing food for friends and family, and happily shared recipes with anyone that would ask. Our Sweet Potato Waffles recipe was the first big hit. Eventually, we noticed that people loved our food as much as we did, so, we decided to combine Alyssa’s passion in the kitchen and Tim’s passions of eating and tech and create this site. It’s a place to capture our best, easily share recipes, and hopefully help you make great food choices.
