Mom of two babes, two furbabes, and one sourdough starter (Dante).

Attended culinary school at Cook Street School of Culinary Arts in Denver, CO. Worked in restaurants and bakeries for four years. I eventually transitioned to the world of testing recipes and food styling working at TMB’s Taste of Home magazine. I have been a staff food stylist for Dotdash Meredith in Des Moines, IA, since 2018.

Love bread/pastries, travel, reading, downhill skiing, and my co-conspirator in life (not necessarily in that order). I don’t have a favorite recipe, because I forever like trying new ones.

Thanks for stopping by!
