About Me
Well, I can pretty much sum myself up in three ways…
- I’m a wife to the most amazing man on the planet and a mother to 6 wonderful children, plus my Jack Russell who is basically my baby.
- I’m was a second grade teacher for 20 years before I started recipe creating full time.
- I am absolutely, positively OBSESSED with all things food!
My poor husband, kids, and grandkids have to hear me ramble on about the recipes I dreamt up the night before and answer weird questions like which cheese would go best with what.
(This is probably why they encouraged me to start this blog.)
But I will tell you I show my love in food form.
So they do benefit from my creative foodie mind 😉
I get my recipe ideas from food shows on TV, things my mom and dad used to make when I was a kid, restaurant menus, and my own imagination of course.
When I get inspired by something, that’s when I add my own twists and changes.
I am a self-taught, home cook and I range from simple dishes that I can whip up quickly after teaching all day …to a little more adventurous dishes that I can enjoy cooking when I have more time.
I try to be healthy and cut calories when I can, but I also refuse to live in a world without bacon and the occasional deep fried something or other.
Everything in moderation, right?!
I am hoping you all can use some of my ideas, and benefit from this crazy fun food obsession of mine.
I just started a second website dedicated to all things grilling, smoking, and outdoor cooking! Check out IfYouGiveAGirlAGrill.com
