Hi! ❤️
Growing up in an Italian family, it gave me my
love for food and gardening. I got the best introduction to food; family recipes from my grandparents, techniques from my sweet great-aunt, and health-minded lessons from my mother. I’m not interested in trendy diets or advertisements - I want to live a healthy life from the core. It has become a passion instilling this in as many people as I can, seeing other families thrive. I love giving my kids fresh ingredients, educating them on what a healthy relationship with food should be, and most importantly, making it fun!! Food is powerful in so many ways. There’s simply something special about turning fresh ingredients into delicious meals and snacks for those you love.
I’m also terrible at measuring… I’m a work in progress.
Guided by love, kindness and listening to others, I believe we all have a story and everything happens for a reason. I met my best friend and husband at 14, we now have two amazing kids. As an active duty navy family we have lived all over in 16+ years - it has its ups and downs, incredible stresses, but experiencing new cultures can change your outlook on being open minded in so many ways. As an introvert, I’m very thankful for this adventurous life, pushing me outside my comfort zone daily.
I’m happiest in my kitchen cooking for/with my family, with the freshest ingredients I can find or grow! I never hesitate to broaden my knowledge and geek out; diving into health books and the latest science. Armed with pen, paper and coffee (or wine) I seek to improve myself daily and everyone else who embraces this journey.
I’m thankful you’re here ☺️
