A Little Bit About The KreutzerKitchen
Who is the KreutzerKitchen?
Welcome to the KreutzerKitchen Website! We are the KreutzerKitchen Duo, Shayne and Liza Kreutzer (husband and wife)... Okay, maybe we are a Trio... our adorable pup Winston loves to help too! To keep our story as short as possible, if you already know us, or if you are visiting for the first time, we have been together for MANY years! We met in high school on a BLIND DATE and without giving you all of the nauseating details of our love story... we have been together ever since... oh yeah and we GOT MARRIED TOO!!! We are not only husband and wife, but we are best friends! Our amazing love story eventually led us both to Pharmacy School which is where #KreutzerKitchen developed. What started off as a hobby to relieve the stresses of Pharmacy School, eventually led to our passion for cooking healthy delicious food.
How did we come up with KreutzerKitchen?
While this hobby of ours developed we learned a lot about modifications to diets specific to disease state management through pharmacy school and through our family members who have developed specific dietary needs over the years. These events led to our curiosity of us finally asking the question "What are we really putting into our body everyday?" We do not follow a specific diet, but we incorporate many nationalities, diets, and eating preferences while we cook in the KreutzerKitchen. We prefer to call it "healthy living" or a "healthy lifestyle". Our goal is to be healthy so that we can encourage others to do the same so that we can live long and happy lives with our family and friends. But...we are FOODIES at heart and will not sacrifice when it comes to eating delicious foods, so healthy and taste are big priorities in our kitchen! We hope you learn something while visiting our site and we hope that you leave inspired to make a change in your kitchen!
What do we cook and What is the purpose?
Like we discussed before we follow a "healthy lifestyle" in the KreutzerKitchen. You will notice that we like to cook many things, for example: Gluten free, Paleo, Cuban, Korean, Vietnamese, Mexican, Mediterranean, Greek, Vegetarian... our list goes on, but those are a few of our favorites! If we can make fresh or buy it fresh, we will! We stay away from processed foods as much as possible!
Since both of us have a busy life in the Profession of Pharmacy, we have to find creative ways to maintain our healthy lifestyle. We are not in high school any more and TIME is not an excuse! We find time mostly meal prepping on the weekends while making time to fit in exercise as well! We have to lead by example. How can we expect our patients, family, and friends to care about their health if we don't practice what we preach with our own health? What started off as a cute hashtag on social media led to our co-workers, family, and friends asking "How do you do it?" "When do you find the time?" "What is that delicious food you brought for lunch today?" "You made that?!" "Can I have the recipe?" and lastly "Do you have a website?" We hope to inspire you to make time for yourself and have some fun in the kitchen while doing it! Lastly, please be aware that we have full time jobs and we do this for fun. We will do our best to post request as soon as possible! Thank you for all of the love and support!
