I was lucky enough to grow up with wonderful culinary role models. Both my mother who is a fantastic cook and my Ginny who I’ve gotten some of my most cherished recipes from. I have been cooking and baking with my mom since I was a little girl and haven’t stopped. I love trying out new recipes and being creative in the kitchen.

 I try to live and cook for a pretty healthy lifestyle. I work out regularly and try to cook nutritious food for an active body for the most part, but everyone needs a cocktail or a cupcake now and then right? Plus, I haven’t yet found a dish that isn’t better with bacon!

My I try to focus my recipes around in-season, local ingredients. My weekly farmer’s market visit is one of my very favorite times – just me, a big basket, and all the fresh produce I can carry!

My favorite thing to do is feed my friends and family and little makes me happier than a dinner party! My mom used to throw huge dinner parties and I was always her sous chef. I learned so much from helping her in the kitchen and I continue to learn every day. You can never read too many recipes or food magazines!

I am also a newlywed and I am having a great time coming up with creative “meals for two” ideas and finding ways to sneak Greek yogurt into my husband’s food (“oh it’s just sour cream sweetie”  )

I hope you enjoy reading about my recipes and culinary adventures as much as I enjoy sharing them with you!

Cheers!
