about me

Born and raised in Michigan, I'm a vegetarian, stay-at-home, wife and mother of one (with one on the way), married to an Irishman and now living in Rebel Cork. Learning to cook in Celsius, as opposed to Fahrenheit has been a real trick!I love simple, practical recipes that use a few ingredients to their best advantage. Nava Atlas is one of my favorite cookbook authors, followed by Molly Katzen.My favorite kitchen tools are my Epicurean cutting board, Wüsthof knives, and food processor.I'm an advocate for organic, sustainable, and local foods, and believe in supporting family farmers whenever possible, though it's been very hard to find any of the above here in Cork.

Favorite Foods:

I love baking, and enjoy preparing one-dish main meals using quinoa, rice, cous cous, and even mashed potatoes as a base from which to build upon.
Dairy figures largely in my diet (I'd never make it as a vegan!) and I get positively weak in the knees for warm scones, biscuits, and sweet breads.
I'm "famous" for my vegetarian lasagna and pot pie, and just a little nervous about "putting them out there" for the use and review of others!
My favorite restaurants are Lucia's and 112 Eatery, both of which are in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
