About Me

A little about me:

When it comes to food, you could say I'm striving to be sustainable, more local (yet still global), beyond organic and respectful in my food choices while embracing the cultures and foods from all around this beautiful world.
I have degrees in nutritional and exercise sciences and I've found when that passion combines with my love of travel and photography it creates a balance of the culinary, culture and health that drives my love for food blogging.

I'm currently a central Kentuckian enjoying the beautiful Bluegrass spiked with bourbon country, but I'm also an avid traveler and former ex-pat who lived in southern Brazil from 2007 through 2009. During my time in Brazil, I began freelance writing which eventually led to the publication of my first book, The Everything Guide to Food Remedies. Along with cooking and travel, some of my other favorite things include my husband, and our two pugs Macy Mae and Dixie.

Quite unexpectedly I have a newfound love of running. Well, maybe love is too strong a word, but there is this driving motivation to acheive what I once thought was impossible. I ran my first half marathon in March of 2010. I also have a deep appreciation of yoga practice and strive to improve my skills.

This blog is my creative outlet. It allows me correspond with people from around the world who share my same interests and those who challenge my ideals. It is a way for me to bring real foods of the world to you through my travels, cooking, photography and writing.

Although, I've struggled to keep my posts up with my current work schedule, you can also find me blogging at:
