I am a single mother of two boys, 14 and 5. I have recently had the opportunity to swich my career from nursing to catering. Some may think I am crazy to make this change, but it’s the only right choice for me. See, for years I have been experiencing increasing desire to cook, plan meals, research ingredients, entertain and share my creations. Now, I have been offered the opportunity to do what I love. I am, in no way, claiming to be a professional chef, just a mom who has made many meals and now a chef in training.
This all started a couple of years ago when I would share with coworkers what I was planning for dinner. I would plan meals as a diversion from the challenges of working in a very depressing field, clinical nursing. It was something to distract me from the stresses of my full-time job.
I found my coworkers were always interested in what I was making that night. I then began bringing in leftovers for their lunches the next day. Soon, I began posting pictures of my dinners on my Facebook account. Later, I began including recipes to go with the pictures. To my surprise, I began receiving lots of positive feedback. Months later, I found I had outgrown Facebook and needed another platform for sharing my recipes.
I share with you recipes that the average cook can serve to their family and friends. Sometimes, I may include a story or my recent discoveries in the kitchen.
What I do is food. I am intrigued by it. I am curious, I am passionate and nothing pleases me more than hearing the satisfied ahhh’s from my guests and family. Enjoy my posts and please let me enjoy your comments or favorite recipes. Thank you for your interest in my journey.

Oh, your new chef in training career sounds wonderful and inspiring! I’m sure it’s a lot of work, but just as rewarding (if not more) than your nursing career. Cheers to a new path!
