Hi, I’m Ashlie!
I’m a recipe developer, gluten-free food blogger, Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certified Nutrition Coach, and longtime magazine contributor with a love for making healthy eating feel simple, realistic, and actually enjoyable.
I created Talk Macros to Me to help take some of the confusion out of nutrition. Here you’ll find easy, gluten-free recipes with an emphasis on protein, fiber, balanced macros, and foods that taste good enough for the whole family to enjoy.
My recipes are created with real life in mind: busy weeknights, hungry kids, grocery-store shortcuts, meals out, and days when you simply don’t have the time or energy to make everything from scratch. I believe nutritious food can be convenient, satisfying, and delicious — and that you shouldn’t have to choose between enjoying your food and supporting your health.
My interest in nutrition grew out of years of trying to figure out what “healthy eating” was actually supposed to look like. Learning about macros and balanced nutrition helped me move away from an all-or-nothing mentality and gave me a much more practical way to think about food. That curiosity eventually led me to become a certified nutrition coach and continues to shape everything I share here.
Today, my goal is to share recipes, nutrition education, grocery finds, restaurant tips, and practical ideas that make eating well feel easier — not more complicated.
In addition to creating recipes for Talk Macros to Me, I’ve been developing and contributing recipes to magazines for years. I’m available for recipe development, food and nutrition writing, brand collaborations, and other editorial projects.
When I’m not developing recipes, I’m usually cooking for my family, wandering the aisles of Trader Joe’s, or planning my next meal out.
For recipe development, freelance writing, brand collaborations, nutrition coaching, or other opportunities, I’d love to hear from you at talkmacrostome@gmail.com.
