ABOUT

Thanks so much for stopping by Green Counter Kitchen! My name is Lindsay Birek, and I'm so excited to share some delicious, simple, and healthy recipes with you. Though I'm a native Texan, you can currently find me just outside NYC in my cozy apartment with my husband, Stefan.  I moved to New York in 2014 after graduating from TCU and am loving everything about it here. Not only do I love the endless energy of the city, I also am currently obsessed with exploring the east coast. The idea of being able to drive a few hours and be on an amazing beach, on an island, or in the mountains is still blowing my mind (weekend trips = the best). During the week, you can normally find me working, doing home reno projects with my husband, catching up with friends, working out at Club Pilates, and of course, cooking.  Needless to say, life has been non-stop since I've moved here and though I don't have the biggest kitchen known to man, I refuse to compromise on eating well. I'm a strong believer that food affects how we feel, and a little food prep, basic direction, and inspiration can allow people to more easily and enjoyably give their bodies the nutrients it needs. More importantly, I believe that nutritious and simple recipes can be made by just about anyone, just about anywhere! I also am a proponent of simple, holistic products and nutrition, and my goal is to provide others with some realistic ways to incorporate these into everyday living as well. Happy cooking and happy eating!
