Julie Drinkhahn and husband on boat

I'm Julie!

Welcome to Simply Unprocessed! I started this blog to show you that eating unprocessed is attainable, fun, and fulfilling! The surprising upsides have made this adventure a fun learning experience, and I want to share them all with you!
​
It's worth noting that I am not a foodie, nutritionist, or food expert. I'm a regular person who never really enjoyed cooking and saw food as merely functional. Also worth noting, I'm perfectly imperfect at this, and I'm not 100% unprocessed every day, but I do my best. 
​
A few books I picked up got me curious about the food - and what I'd later learn, food-like products - we've been conditioned to believe are "good for us." (Visit my bookshelf for more recommendations!)
​
As a result, I slowly changed to incorporate unprocessed foods for my health. I began sharing them with my family to instill in my young girls a positive relationship with food and eventually eliminate "kid food" from our home.

​

My experience going unprocessed is also about better understanding where food comes from and intentionally shortening the time and distance it takes to get to my table. I also love to support local food producers and our local economy. Everyone wins! 
​
Since you're here, I imagine you feel the same way. And it's worth restating that I'm no expert, and any tips, tricks, or learnings I share are purely informational. Let's get unprocessing! 
​
Thanks for being here!
