Twin Cities, MNHi, I'm Shaina Olmanson, the voice behind Food for My Family along with my husband, Ole, who waxes poetic about his love for the grill and his smoker. I work from home as a freelance writer, recipe developer and photographer in Minnesota. I strive to teach my children how to prepare and eat real food in a day and age where there are so many convenience options available.
In addition to writing Food for My Family and running a photography business, Olmanson Photography, I am a daily contributor to Babble.com's Family Kitchen Blog and the editor of the food channel for Lifetime Moms.
