- Title: Founder and Recipe Creator
- Location: Columbus, Ohio
- Expertise: Professional Recipe Development and Testing, Food Photography, and Food Writing since 2011.
- Cuisines: My recipes are inspired by flavorful cuisines from across the world, but are rooted in the simple comfort of everyday home cooking.
As a three-time cookbook author and food blogger, I develop and photograph the recipes that are shared both online and in print. I’m the author of The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook, The Weekday Lunches and Breakfasts Cookbook,and The Weeknight Dessert Cookbook. All of the cookbooks are available on Amazon or in local bookstores.
I started food blogging in 2011 when I created Barefeet in the Kitchen to share recipes with friends and family. In 2019, I began writing at Chocolate with Grace, because every day is made better with a little bit of chocolate and a whole lot of grace.
And in 2022, I created this website, Vegetable Recipes, to share my love of all things vegetable-related. My mission is to help others see that vegetables don’t have to be boring. Today, millions of people visit these sites every month looking for recipes and ideas to help get tasty meals on the table with a minimum of fuss.
There are nearly 3,000 recipes on these websites, many of which have been featured in Forbes, Today, Yahoo, Allrecipes, Business Insider, CBS, Buzzfeed, Parade, TheKitchn, HuffPost, Delish, Taste of Home, SheKnows, and The Pioneer Woman.
