Welcome to MYSWEETBELLY

Hi.. I'm Nikki! 

I grew up in Miami Beach and I was always drawn to smoothie bowls but never made a smoothie. So while I spent long hours studying.. trying to find something that would give me a high, like good music, good food and a wild party, I started making my own bowls! I made rice bowls, smoothie bowls, poke bowls, Mediterranean bowls, any bowl you can think of.. I tried to make it. As I was finishing up business school at the University of Miami, I began to put together my cookbook: 21 Bowls of Summer, with the help of my sister and a few supportive family and friends  (it really does take a village!!!).

These bowls not only put me in a good mood, but helped more than a handful of my peers and colleagues lose more weight than they expected to lose. After college, I met my wonderful husband and had the cutest, wildest little boy. More than ever,  I wanted to give my family the same feeling I felt with good food so I started adding family favorites and baby-friendly recipes to the list.

On MySweetBelly, you can find a recipe for the solo cook, the dinner host.. for babies as young as 3 months and mostly, foods the whole family can enjoy!... My recipes rely on one diet type: Whole Foods! oh, and gluten free.. but you'd never know it. ;)

Enjoy, friends!
