My kitchen is my happy place! It's basically my food lab, and I love I exploring new ingredient combinations and culinary short-cuts every day. I can't seem to get enough and I never lose my desire to get in there and start cookin'. In fact, my favorite phrase might be "Mom, I'm hungry". Even when I don't think I'm trying, I catch myself striving to serve the "best thing ever". Even an after-school snack. I put passion into every dish I make - from my boys' breakfasts before school, to bagged lunches, to dinners and desserts for family and friends. Nothing makes me happier than recipe testing knowing I'm about to feed the people I care about. I love connecting with people too - it's the best part of this job. It doesn't matter if you're a passionate foodie or someone looking for the quickest way to get dinner on the table - it's fun to hear stories about what works, what doesn't work, what you gave to the dog, what you finally got your kids to eat, what you'll be making more often, and so on. In the end, we all want the kitchen to be that happy place, right? Enjoy the recipes and tips on these pages - I hope to make your cooking experiences easier, quicker and a lot more fun!
