Intro Post: I’m All About Balance…

Hi Steemit!

My name is Juanina Kocher, Nina for short, and I’m a newbie to the Steemit tribe. As a food loving yogi, I’ll be posting healthy recipes, not-so-healthy recipes, restaurant reviews, yoga tips, all-natural DYI tricks & more!

A little bit about myself: I love to eat. Like a lot. All the foods. The only thing I love as much as food is traveling. I would literally go anywhere and everywhere if time and money allowed. To balance out my fairly indulgent lifestyle, I eat plenty of fruits & veggies, drink lots of green juice and smoothies, and practice yoga. Yoga helps me keep my very type A personality in balance. Balance is what I’m all about. I may post one of my most favorite, indulgent pasta with cream sauce recipes followed by tips on how to deepen a Parivrtta Trikonasana (Revolved Triangle Pose) for detox. For me, balance is the only way to go.

My love for food is partially due to the fact that I’ve worked in the restaurant business for over 18 years (I’m only 34). I moved to New York after graduating from the University of Georgia. Since then, I’ve worked for various chefs and restaurant groups in Manhattan in positions ranging from marketing to PR to event production and management. My current day job is as a Director of Catering & Special Events. My most recent “passion project” is Classic City Cooking, a cookbook based on the restaurants and chefs of my hometown, Athens, Ga. Don’t worry, I’m most certainly going to be including a few of these tasty recipes in my posts so stay tuned…

Lastly, I have a dog named Phoebe who I consider my first child. I may randomly include pictures of her in my posts. You’re welcome in advance.
