Living in a small town, I don't have access to many speciality ingredients or grocery stores. Each recipe I develop is created with that in mind so they are accessible to all.

My kids are little and sometimes very picky. Many recipes either have kid-friendly adaptations or ways of serving to help expose little eaters to new tastes and flavors without making a separate meal for the kids.

Groceries are more expensive than ever! I'm a big believer in leftovers and making the most of each meal. If a recipe includes leftover meat, sauce, or ingredients you'll see some "make a second meal" or freezer ideas noted.
