HEY I MADE THIS!

Hi! I am Nicole, a married mama of two boys living in the Pacific Northwest.

I believe eating healthy should be easy, so I ditched the diet buzz words and just try and eat meals with as much real food as possible.

I started my social media food blog @lettuceturniptheeats almost three years ago, and after promoting health and wellness brands on there I decided to open NW Bulk Market.
