Welcome to Sweet Potato Bites!
I’m Allie, a Southern California girl born and bred who loves sharing my experiences with food + fitness on this blog. Whether it is a new recipe, race recap or restaurant review, you’ll find it here.
I have a bunch of different food allergies (be sure to check out my food allergies page), but I don’t let that stop me from enjoying lots of delicious eats at various restaurants and through my own culinary creations! I eat a primal + gluten-free diet about 90% of the time and have a weakness for a really good scoop of ice cream or gelato, like this Arbequina Olive Oil Ice Cream from Salt and Straw in Portland.
I’m always on the hunt for something delicious to eat and chances are you’ll find it on the blog. My favorite dish of late is this pulled pork from Koa’s Seaside Grill in Lahaina, Maui.
When I’m not eating or writing about food, chances are you’ll find me training for my next race or working out at my local crossfit gym.
In addition to blogging for Sweet Potato Bites, I am a freelance marketing consultant and work with a variety of different clients to help them with all of their social media and marketing needs. Check out alliefisher.com to learn more!
My husband and I live in Southern California with our spunky cat Pip. He’s originally from England, so you’ll see him referred to as the “Englishman” often on the blog. We got engaged in July 2012 and got married in May 2014. We also try not to take ourselves too seriously.

Yay for OC! Nice to see another OC food blogger 🙂
Always love finding new local bloggers around here 🙂 love the name of your blog btw!
Glad I found you (thanks to Joy the Baker’s recent real-talk blog tips post). I’m over in West LA, but it’s still good to know about good food just next door!
Thanks for writing! I try to get up to LA now and then as well so hopefully I will have more posts about dining up there – miss the food scene!
