About the Author
Hi, I’m Robyn Conley Downs, creator of Real Food Whole Life, where I help busy people with fresh, feel-good recipes that prove simplicity is the secret ingredient. With a background in habit science and behavior design, I spent years teaching university courses and wrote The Feel Good Effect to show how small shifts create big change, an approach I now bring to the kitchen through recipes that bring ease and flavor to even the busiest weeknights.
As a simplicity expert, I’m here to help remove decision fatigue and unnecessary steps by creating meals that are streamlined, flexible, and built to work in real life. My new cookbook, Simply Dinner: Effortless Weeknight Meals for Real Life, a Real Food Whole Life cookbook, brings that philosophy to life with easy recipes that make dinnertime feel doable again!
