Mostly Southern food made healthier, tastier, and faster.
Southern Bytes is where you’ll find a fun twist on Southern and family recipes – some are made Paleo, some are made in an Instant Pot, and most are made with a lot of seasonal produce.

Hi, I’m Kari!
I am a wife, food blogger, health coach, and mama to a hot mess of a border collie. I love to put a new spin on old family recipes, and I try to make as many meals as possible with an Instant Pot.
