About Kelsey Preciado

Kelsey is the recipe developer and photographer behind the beautiful blog Little Bits of Real Food. Kelsey inspires a balanced approach to health, fueled by paleo-based recipes, laughter, and wine on the weekend!

Kelsey worked in a bakery for two years in college, before deciding that the life of a pastry chef wasn't for her. She started her amazing and wildly successful blog, Little Bits of Real Food, as a way to continue sharing beautiful recipes and her gorgeous food photography.

After watching the documentary Fed Up, Kelsey began taking her diet and health to another level, cutting out processed foods and added sugar.

In both January of 2016 and January of 2017, Kelsey completed the 30-day Whole30 program, which further reinforced her commitment to clean eating. These days, Kelsey enjoys a paleo-based diet, with a sense of food freedom that includes chocolate, wine, and dinners out where sometimes she orders the salad, and sometimes not!
