Hi, there!
Welcome to my kitchen - I am so happy that you are here.
I am a self-taught photographer and recipe creator, and the author of five cookbooks.
As an amazon associate, I earn from qualifying sales.
I wrote my first two books, The Quintessential Quinoa Cookbook and The Gluten Free Quintessential Quinoa Cookbook, back when I blogged over at CookingQuinoa.net.
More recently, I authored The Easy Low Carb Cookbook, The Ultimate Air Fryer Cookbook, and Everything Vegetarian.
As a busy mom, I am passionate about creating great meals that leave me time to enjoy the family.
You will find all our family favorites on the blog, like Veggie Lasagna, Slow Cooker Eggplant Parmesan, and Instant Pot Potato Salad.
You'll find lots of recipes using my favorite kitchen tools, like Ninja Foodi Grill Chicken, Blackstone Fried Rice, and Air Fryer Chicken Thighs.
No matter what your skill level in the kitchen, I'll help you create delicious homemade meals that the whole family will love.
Meet the Family
I am a busy and devoted mom of three.
Skye was my late-life surprise, and is currently 9. She is the perfect blend of girly-girl and rough and tumble, and her favorite thing to do is spend time with me in the kitchen.
I am the very lucky homeschooling mom to Alex (17) and Christian (16).
They are 14 months apart, closer than twins and make my world go around. Unfortunately, they also happen to be my toughest food critics.
The teen years have been such a fun time for the foodie in me. All the jokes about how much boys eat are 100% true at our house. Both of them are over 6'2" and struggle to keep weight on, so those casseroles that feed eight can disappear in a flash.
I feel blessed to be able to work from home and be there with my kiddos. My days are crazy and I almost never get my daily “to-do” list completed.
One day I’ll be organized, but for now my desk is a sea of note pads, recipe drafts, sharpies, essential oils, supplements, bows, and the occasional doll.
Luckily I thrive on chaos.
