We have both graduated from college and are transitioning into post-grad life. With new careers and life-fulfilling adventures ahead, a new healthful adventure is in order too. This blog is our pride and joy and we are beyond excited to welcome you into our Shut Up & Glisten community.
We promise to give you simple, easy to make recipes that are just as delicious as they are healthy. Besides, when you start with good ingredients you don’t have to do much to make them taste divine.
We hope you join our upcoming adventures and decide to follow us so you can GLISTEN with us every week. Yes that’s right, every week. We have some great new content coming this fall! Get excited for our everyday meals that align with the Healthy Autumn Meal Plan we’ve created to help you continue to live, learn, and love the food you eat! Also, each month we will feature a new seasonal food of the month. Luckily we are pretty stoked about Pumpkin season (Hopefully you are too)! We will pick foods you will love, but only foods that will love you back all the same.
Excited as we are? Join our new email list! And SHUT UP and GLISTEN with us.
XO, The Glisten Girls

Hi, Breah! Hi, Sam! ~ LOVE your new website and recipes!!! Forwarding the link to all my foodie friends! 🙂
