ABOUT / CONTACT

I spent 22 years working in the hospitality industry as a catering manager, catering sales manager, food and beverage manager, and events coordinator.  In the wake of the pandemic, I picked up my life and moved to rural Minnesota to take on the role of business manager for my brother's construction company. I was ready for a change, and feeling somewhat complacent where I was. I was tired of being stuck at work with no time to be an involved mom, or do any of the things that fulfilled me as a person. To be honest, I didn't even know what was fulfilling to me outside of work and being a mom...

​

The change in scenery has afforded me time and space to figure out who I am, what I'm passionate about, and most importantly, to be a more present parent. This website started out as a way for me to share my favorite recipes with family and friends, but each day that I work on it, it morphs into something more. I've spent a lot of time in my kitchen over the years testing out recipes for whatever fad diet I was on, baking delicious desserts (my love language), and trying to create or tweak recipes that are more gentle on the gut, without sacrificing flavor.

 

As an IBS sufferer, managing symptoms through diet is my main focus in the kitchen. I definitely have some cheat recipes in the mix, but most of what I make at home is centered around using low FODMAP ingredients, with easy to follow recipes for busy families, big & small. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you find value in what I've created here.  ​
