Hello. Good morning.

Hello and welcome to Eats By Erika! This is my first official post, and I figured I would take this opportunity to tell you about myself, this blog and why I'm doing this blog!


My name is Erika (surprise), and I love to cook (another surprise)! In addition to loving cooking, I also love to see people enjoy my cooking. I've often been told that I should cater or create a food blog and Instagram. Instagram is up and running - @eatsbyerika. Check it out! I won't be catering anytime soon, but a food blog I can do.


I'm generally creative in the kitchen, but back in March 2015, I began the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). I have an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's, and I was at my wits end on how to feel better. During my research, I happened upon AIP and decided to give it a go. I had to step up my creativity and learn to enjoy food with restrictions and/or limitations. I did it, and I'm still doing it!


With the blog, I plan to share recipes, pictures, successes and the not so good. Some recipes will be my own, and some I will have gotten from others. I will always give credit where credit is due. I'll not only share food but where I like to shop for ingredients, my favorite brands or must haves for my kitchen.


Right now, this blog is a work in progress. I'm still deciding on layout and pages and such, so bear with me through the construction!
