Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 10 years you have probably heard of CrossFit and you probably think you know exactly what it is. "Bros, girls in spandex, people throwing weights all over the gym, people laying around on the ground after their workout, a cult, etc." It's cool.. I'm not mad about it... I thought all of those things too before I went to my first Crossfit class.

Welcome To Hangry For Real Food!
Hey there. Thanks for stopping by! I'm Kara Ann and I am HANGRY for real food.
