About Me

Thanks for visiting! I am a trained chef and have always had a passion for food. Since I was little, I always knew I wanted to go to culinary school and do something extraordinary in the food world. After several years of working as a research and development chef, I moved to the sales side of the industry and loved it. I’m currently at home taking care of our two boys, running my online stationery shop, and freelancing as a recipe developer/content creator. Although much more challenging to juggle than I anticipated, I don’t take a day at home with my boys for granted. My style of cooking has simplified significantly due to the stage of life we’re in, but cooking and feeding others continues to be one of my greatest passions.

Taste Test Tuesday: S’more’s Clusters from @trader Taste Test Tuesday: S’more’s Clusters from @traderjoes

Have you tried these?!

Over-proofed my sourdough… so obviously I made foc Over-proofed my sourdough… so obviously I made focaccia 🤷🏼‍♀️
(My toxic trait is thinking this is a solution, not a problem)

Turned it into a sandwich situation with bacon + eggs, then let things spiral—in the best way—with buttery garlic tomatoes + cottage cheese for a little protein boost ✨
10/10 would mess up again. 😉

Taste Test Tuesday: @jonnypops cotton candy flavor Taste Test Tuesday: @jonnypops cotton candy flavored popsicles 🍦 

We bought these during the ice cream sale at @wholefoods because Graham is a big cotton candy guy! 

These didn’t disappoint! I appreciate the cleaner ingredients while still maintaining a great tasting treat!

What’s your favorite popsicle?! Maybe we should do a comparison of all of your favorites!
