About


Welcome to Culina! I'm Kayleen Wichlinski, a registered dietician nutritionist. After blogging my own recipes with The Garden Apt. for a year, I decided to start my own blog where I focus on healthy, nutritional meals.

Favorite food? Depends on the day - ice cream/frozen yogurt, watermelon, blueberries. I seem to love dairy, on ice or ice cold, oddly enough!

Favorite drink? I love a good glass of wine or a cocktail made with gin, but I'm also a fan of ice cold water. I feel like I'm always parched!

Dream kitchen appliance? A beautiful refrigerator larger than the one in my apartment!

Can't live without? A kitchen to cook in.

Professional goal? I want to teach people how to cook healthy food and delicious sweets: one kitchen at a time! I know people hear this all the time, but moderation truly is key. Share your treats with your neighbors or coworkers, make some new friends...

Favorite hobbies? Making up recipes, running, walking, airports, reading cookbooks just for the photos!

As you can see, my whole life involves food, and I love it! I'm very active and often enjoy walking, running, biking, hiking, gardening, and snowshoeing (hello, wisconsin!). I try to spend time outdoors everyday. I love visiting my friends in different cities and seeing their worlds as well.
