Hello! I’m Rachael, a 25-year-old freelance blogger and cheese seller who currently lives in the Washington D.C. Metro Area. I’m a military brat though, so that’s not home. (What is? Good question.) I’ve always been a little bit different. I love to test out new ideas and theories as they pertain to everyday life, but I like to do that in ways that save me money and time and contribute to a more positive life experience.

The Aliso Kitchen is the amalgamation of years of projects, including a few other blogs. My tagline, “Living Better for Less,” encompasses a few of those. Here, I write about things that I think make life better (fitness, inspiration, motivation, nifty tricks, food, etc) for less (budgeting, money tips, deep discounts, etc). Anything that fits in between those categories works for me, too, so hopefully you’re a little forgiving on my topics!

I believe in the healing power of food, and am learning to incorporate more Traditional and Nourishing Foods in my life. For more about how I got started on this journey, please read My Story of Real Food.

You’ll follow me on my journey to form a life that fits my hopes and dreams. This will include more cooking, weight loss, gardening, and hopefully one day, even homesteading (at least in my own modified way).
