Life can get pretty crazy, right? I understand the challenges of trying to balance work, social events, parenting, chores, cooking, and grocery shopping. That’s why I have created meal plans and simple step-by-step recipes to help alleviate the stress of cooking and bring back the joy of connecting over a home cooked meal. I love sharing my culinary adventures from around the world and enjoy sharing these amazing recipes for everyone to try so we can all cook and connect together!

Growing up in Southern California meant that I was surrounded by a melting pot of cultures and lifestyles. I absolutely loved visiting my friends’ houses and indulging in diverse cuisines from around the world. This sparked my desire to live abroad and explore the world in my early twenties. I’ve had some incredible adventures and tasted some truly amazing food, which I love sharing on my travel page and through my recipes.

Throughout my life, I’ve met some remarkable friends who are just as passionate about food as I am. We enjoy culinary nights, soup clubs, dining out, and spending cherished time together. This was the inspiration behind my cook and connect page which provides ideas to bring people together through the love of food!

Let’s Get Cooking!

Ironically, my childhood nickname was Birdseed. My dad used to joke that I pecked at my food like a little bird, only eating what I liked. I loved to eat, and my double chin shows it. I became inspired to create, tweak and modify recipes to capture the flavors that I love. Enjoy!

Throughout my website, you’ll find the birdseed icon to highlight helpful tips as you prepare meals, plan for travel, and more. Let’s have fun and let’s get cooking!
