About Fit Mitten Kitchen
Hi! I’m Ashley Walterhouse, founder and creator of Fit Mitten Kitchen, a website devoted to real food recipes and balanced treats for all to enjoy. I started my website in 2015 as a way to share all of the recipes I was loving as I discovered how to eat and live a healthier lifestyle. The recipes you see here are tested and developed by me several times before making their way to the site. Since starting this site, I have shared almost 1000 recipes on Fit Mitten Kitchen! Whether you’re looking for gluten-free recipes, dairy-free and vegan, or just lightened up recipes you can feel good feeding your family, there is something for everyone.
What to Expect
- Balanced treats
Dessert is for every day in my book! (Maybe even twice a day.) You’ll find loads of nutrient-dense options here that won’t leave you feeling blah. - Plant-forward meals
While I do eat fish and meat on a semi-regular basis, I also LOVE using plant-based meals as a way to add more veggies to your diet. You can get so creative with adding more plants into your main dishes. - Dietary friendly snacks
I share a wide variety of muffins, quick breads, energy bites and snack bars, all of which you’ll be able to find gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options.
Fun Facts
- Born and raised in Mid-Michigan and obsessed with our Great Lakes.
- One of my favorite things to do when traveling is find a great local coffee shop.
- I’m obsessed with the combination of peanut butter and banana.
- I prefer Summer > Fall (You can’t beat summertime in Northern Michigan!)
