About Me
“Be fearless in pursuit of what sets your soul on fire”
I love molding my life around all the beautiful things... music, food, nature, good wine, better company.
I moved to Maine from Florida in the Summer of 2019, and have moved seasonally in the food and beverage industry since then, while running a luxury beauty business from my phone. I travel across the country, meeting new people, exploring new places, and collecting magical moments.

All recipes I’ve made recently and loved.
I will always be updating (we love to cook) so if you see one you like and want to try, be sure to save it!
(Unless my own, links are to the original recipes. I will note any adjustments/ substitutions made in the comments of each link.)
Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa
I’ve made this twice now exactly according to the recipe and both times it’s been amazing! If you’re sensitive to spice, cut back on the amount of chili powder because it does have a kick. Serve it on tacos, fajitas or a salad with your favorite toppings!

Ahi Tuna Poke Bowls
Fresh *sushi grade* tuna is key to this! We were lucky enough to get the last fresh bluefin tuna of the season, and it was delicious! One of the benefits to living in Maine.
I used ginger paste instead of fresh ginger because I find it easier. We served it over brown rice with avocado, diced cucumber, shredded carrots, wasabi aioli, and a sweet and spicy sauce. Garnished with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

Artichoke and Spinach Roasted Salmon
I followed the recipe exactly, the piece of salmon we got was thick so I roasted it in our air fryer for 6 minutes to get it to a medium temperature.
I served it with a salad made out of baby spinach, red onion, heirloom tomatoes, feta cheese, and balsamic vinegar.

Roasted turkey
Our first time making a whole turkey! Used a 10lb and followed the instructions exactly. It was super easy and one of the juiciest, yummiest turkeys I’ve had. Now we have leftovers for sandwiches 😉
P.S., keep the bone for homemade soup!!

French Onion Smothered Pork Chops
SO GOOD. I used 4 boneless pork chops (just a preference) and didn’t have to brine them first. I simmered them in with the sauce after adding the chicken broth and thyme rather than baking them, and finished by broiling the pork chops topped with gruyere cheese and they were flavorful and juicy!
(It’s important to stir the sauce regularly throughout the process to avoid burning and cook evenly).
Serve with zucchini noodles or your favorite side.

Smoky pork and bacon white bean chili
I’ve made this for years, a recipe that won me the honors program chili cook off champion in college 😉 Perfect easy twist on traditional chili for a cold winter day.
The “Smithfield“ sponsorship of the recipe is new. Use your favorite thick cut bacon and I usually opt for about 3 lbs of boneless pork chuck roast.

Wine
Bottles we’ve tried and their flavor profiles from the app “Vivino,” as well as where to buy
The Prisoner Saldo Zinfandel
Velvety layers of overripe blackberries, sweet jam, oaky vanilla, and rich mocha.
Fantastic on its own, paired with beef or cheese, or as a dessert wine.

Matías Riccitelli Sémillon Old Vines
A refreshing white wine, citrus-forward with a smooth honey finish, making it rich in flavor but still easy to drink.
This was a favorite of ours this summer.

The Calling Cabernet Sauvignon
Notes of deep plum, black currant, and raspberry. Smooth and medium bodied, with a warming subtle spiced finish.

Bogle Phantom Chardonnay
A creamy vanilla, buttery Chardonnay with hints of pear, pineapple, and apple. Sweet, smooth and just enough oakiness to round out the flavor.

Lockhart Cabernet Sauvignon
Lighter bodied cherry and raspberry flavor, with a little bit of spice that reminds me of a Malbec. Not what you’d typically expect from a Cab, but extremely well balanced and flavorful.
