“We never waste food. I am a grandchild of an Armenian Genocide survivor. My grandparents were forced to leave their homes and marched on dessert without food & water. I learned at an early age not to waste any food, as there are people in the world who die of hunger as we speak ” says Christina Gurunian.

How it started:

As a mother & wife who loves her family, Christina Gurunian tries to improvise the ingredients in traditional recipes with healthier versions.

It is important to note that research shows the dangers of consuming processed foods, bleached flours, & artificial sugars. These types of foods are linked to diabetes, obesity & different types of cancers. This is why we should pay attention to the ingredients of the food we buy and make sure it only contains a few simple ingredients. This is not a calorie count, but knowing what ingredients do we put inside our body.

The habit started when Christina started slowly replacing white flour with blends of whole grain flour, artificial sugar with natural sweeteners like maple syrup, dates or honey, etc. You will find easy & fast recipes packed with awesome flavor, made with simple ingredients, and designed to fit in the busy schedule of a working person.
