About/Contact


I am a wife, mother and happy, full-time corporate busy-Bee. I was born and raised in beautiful Augsburg Germany, and before transplanting to North Carolina a few years ago, lived Most happily in Monterey, California where our two sons were born and where my dear parents continue to Enjoy life.

I was first a Captain's daughter and today, a United States Army Airborne Ranger calls me Mom. I am so very proud, of course, but also terrified.

The kitchen and property around our home is my playground. I enjoy creating with food, gardening, traveling, trying new things and documenting Life around me. In addition to fooding, I recreate outdoors and photograph just about everything I find interesting or worthy of sharing. I can be embarrassingly enthusiastic about the things and people I love, and matter to ME!

My husband and I are proud supporters of The Wounded Warrior Project and we would be so grateful if you would take a moment to visit The Wounded Warrior website to learn more and make a donation in support of this unfortunately necessary, but very worthy cause.
