I have a B.S. in Dietetics from Cal Poly, SLO and am an avid food and wine fan. I battle boredom by playing with my food, entertaining and discovering new products and fun trends, yet respecting tradition. I am passionate about utilizing the fresh produce that is available to me in Southern California and create healthy, yet creative recipes for friends, family and readers. My real life and dream life often collide and combust into bursts
of interesting projects, food creations and boondoggles. My site is a time-stamp of experiences that have brought fun and uniqueness into my life and I love to share with my audience.
