Denver, CO

A farm girl from Iowa, I grew up farm-to-table before the concept was cool (or even invented). We raised or grew what we ate, and I developed a taste for fresh vegetables, fruit, and corn-feed beef.

I am a self-proclaimed book-nerd, gym-bum, home-chef, and wannabe wine snob. I first began cooking and baking for health reasons and to accompany my fitness lifestyle.

I’ve been cooking from scratch – ever since I can remember.  Frugal by nature (okay – cheap!), I just can’t see buying pre-made food when it’s so easy to make it yourself.

San Luis Obispo, CA —> Sacramento, CA

Being born with two Grandmas who made sure you cleared your plate every single time would suggest that I was inherently going to love food. I’ve always loved to eat, it hasn’t been a secret and I don’t ever plan on changing that.

If I ever sit down long enough (besides to eat) to write my autobiography the title will definitely be It’s All About the Food!!!
My whole life revolves around it… Vacations, work, pastimes, projects dreaming … Lol

Left to my own devices I would most certainly live off microwave dinners and cereal. My backyard has a lime tree, though.

It’s no wonder I love all things food. I grew up with a mother who didn’t cook ANYTHING.

I grew up with the mentality of trying everything once- because if I didn’t like it, I never had to eat it again. Fortunately for me- I haven’t tried anything yet that I don’t like!

I hale from a small town in the Mountain State, moved to the south for culinary school (JWU Charlotte) and have been traveling and eating my way around the country ever since. Once the passport is renewed, my food addiction will be unstoppable on a global scale.

There is one thing I’m absolutely certain I know and that is good food. I can’t say I am the best cook or baker but I can tell you where you can pick up amazing dim sum, delicious drinks, or the best tacos in town.

I have always been a lover of food since I was a little girl but I became obsessed with baking not too long ago. Fun fact: I use to take leftover random pieces of chicken in the fridge and make grilled burritos for my family.

Growing up in a small town my family never ate out much when I was little. I think because of this my food tastes have remained quite simple throughout my life.

With a sweet tooth like mine it’s a wonder I have any more teeth at all. As a child I was absolutely enchanted candy and dessert; I often made the claim to my mother that although dinner had made me so full I could not finish, there was a special compartment in my stomach especially for dessert that was empty and hungry!

A lifelong foodie and experimental artist, food is probably one of my favorite things. Food is art in itself, whether nature-given or human-created, and when that art satisfies your tastebuds, it is a pleasure seeker’s dream come true.
