Helping others find balance in food, fitness and living with intention are my passions. When it comes to self-improvement my mission is to always work at the minimal effective dose, inspiring action that will honor goals and last a lifetime. This passion ignited the year I turned 40 when I began sharing my story publicly, from a place of both the scar and the wound. Learning to break through limiting beliefs triggered a cascade of creativity from publishing three cookbooks (Purchase Here), to offering mindset and lifestyle support, while living my dream as a recipe developer. I’ve been married for almost 20 years to my best friend and co-creator of our three incredible daughters. If I’m not in the kitchen, you can find me with my golden retriever Redstone, probably somewhere deep in nature.

Everything came together for me in the kitchen when I discovered Simply Delish Naturals. The flavor, texture, ingredient lineup and variety allowed me to nail my recipe development game, while still supporting my physique goals. Aside from taste, my favorite part about Simply Delish products is the sheer volume it lends to a recipe, without any of the junk associated with other ‘macro-friendly’ ingredients. I enjoy both the chocolate and vanilla instant pudding powders daily in everything from yogurt bowls to frostings to baked treats and smoothies, where it has become an essential flavor maker. Trust me when I tell you that the broad and delicious application of this ingredient has brought new meaning to ’having my cake and eating it too.’
