    A little intro about me

    Hi, I’m Michelle, creator of Diet and Fries, where healthy living meets real life. I’m Gen X and part of the hybrid generation, blending cultures and flavors in everyday life. I grew up eating Filipino and Asian food, and living in California means I also enjoy Mexican and American food. That mix is exactly what you’ll find here, simple, easy recipes inspired by real life. I share quick meals for busy schedules, affordable food ideas, and easy workouts at home or at the gym. My approach is all about balance, following an 80 20 lifestyle that focuses on nutritious meals, staying active, and still enjoying the foods you love. If you’re looking for easy recipes, balanced lifestyle tips, and realistic wellness routines that feel doable, you’re in the right place.
