Welcome to my Kitchen!

Hi, I’m Kristen, a Kansas City-based foodie, former real estate attorney, and the face behind Normal Food. I started posting on TikTok and Instagram in 2023, because I was so frustrated with diet culture, and I wanted to be the food creator that 22 year old me desperately needed to find. It’s 2026, I’m 30 years old, and I can proudly say that 22 year old me would think that 30 year old me is the coolest woman ever. All I care about is creating content and recipes that help people find as much joy and hapiness in their kitchens that I feel in mine. Whether it’s a quick weeknight dinner after work or something that requires a little more effort, my focus is on creating and sharing recipes that anyone can make with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

At Normal Food, my goal is to inspire you to embrace the beauty of everyday cooking. Because at the end of the day, normal food is all you need to bring people together and make life a little tastier. Let’s get cooking!
