About Me

Picture
I am an adventurous spirit who loves to create and experience new things. I’ll push the envelope and think outside the box as much as possible, and don’t care too much for “the norm”.

I am passionate about helping people to succeed, whether it be personally, professionally, in business, or in other areas of life.

I love traveling and experiencing new places and cultures, good food, wonderful stories, spending quality time with friends and family, creating and expressing who I am, and connecting with like-minded people.

I can be quirky and different, and have a quiet personality that often causes me to take a while to really warm up to people and let loose.

I am committed to living my life to the fullest, and encouraging those around me to do the same.

I don’t care to waste my time on activities or people that want to suck my energy or complain about everything. I focus on surrounding myself with people who are committed to constant never-ending improvement, making the most out of every opportunity, and building up those they come in contact with.

​I love to laugh and have a very happy-go-lucky attitude toward life.

I’m in my early 50s (ah, that is scary to write that … where does time go?). My passions are traveling, cooking (both savory and sweet) and photography. I absolutely love cats (although I don’t have any of my own currently since my Jasmine crossed over the Rainbow bridge in 2014).

I realized that I was gluten sensitive in July 2009. A few years after fiddling with recipes, I started a blog called Project Healthy Ever After in January 2011 as a way to share those recipes. It evolved into my coaching website after I graduated from Institute for Integrative Nutrition in September 2013.

In August 2014, I had to have a total hysterectomy. This sent me into a year long recovery and a whole set of new issues (hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia to name a few) that I’m learning how to deal with as part of every day life.
​
Her favorite cuisines are French, Italian and Vietnamese. My favorite birthday meal is lobster and cheesecake and would probably be my last meal.
Are all the recipes yours?

All the recipes are mine unless otherwise noted. I give credit when it is due in my recipes and follow these attribution guidelines.

I am not a trained chef. I learned to cook from Mama Elaine (my adopted Italian mama), my boss (at the Department of the Air Force, my first real job) who would give me a recipe each Friday and I would have to cook it over the weekend and report back on Mondays and the few classes I took at Sur La Table.

When I learned that I was gluten sensitive, I felt very sorry for myself. What no more pizza? What could I eat? Thank goodness for Whole Foods and their gluten free food selection. 

This got very expensive very fast. So I decided to get in the kitchen and start experimenting on my own. I’ve made loads of mistakes with gluten free cooking, but have also had a lot of successes.

If you’ve tried one of my recipes, please share! If you’ve taken a picture, please email it or send me the link; I would love to link to your blog and credit the photo to you.

What Will You Find Here?
There’s a wide range of things you can find here from healthy food to food that tastes-so-good-but-is-oh-so-bad-for-you indulgences as well as travel tips and stories, health tips and photographs.
All recipes are gluten free and soy free unless otherwise noted.

Who Takes Your Photos?

Yup, all the photos are taken by yours truly. It took me awhile to grasp the concept of lighting, angles and props in food photography but I believe I have grown while learning. I am very happy with where I am at now. So you’ll notice a vast difference in quality between the old stuff and the new stuff. I still cringe at the old stuff and I might redo them one day but until then, they’re still very yummy recipes

A Little More Formal

Linda Roisum helps her clients live vibrant and healthy lives. Her gentle approach to nutrition works especially well with busy and caring professional who know that they have important work to do in this world, but see that they won’t get very far as long as they have irritating health issues, or self-sabotaging eating habits. As her clients bring whole foods and superfoods into their office, kitchen, and suitcase, they are able to naturally target their specific health concerns, strengthen their body, clear up digestive troubles, and overcome fatigue. It becomes easy to release foods like sugar, caffeine, gluten and dairy.

Linda received her training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where she was trained in more than one hundred dietary theories and studied a variety of practical lifestyle coaching methods. Drawing on this knowledge, I will help you create a completely personalized “roadmap to health” that suits your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and goals.
