I have to be honest! My most important mission is authenticity and providing a window into my kitchen and mind. I feel passionate about preserving the art of cooking and baking in the home. When we create food, we are sharing a piece of our heart. We demonstrate selflessness, sharing, and caring. We strengthen homes, communities, hearts, and we establish memories. These are irreplaceable treasures!
My Goal for You: is to share approachable fresh recipes that are heartfelt, sincere, fully developed with flavor, that honor your time and my time creating a recipe. Here I will build and share resources of knowledge surrounding ingredients, tips and methods.
My Commitment to You! I will only ever share brands, ingredients and tools that I love and truly use because of their quality. Information that I share will be tested and researched for our benefit together, and I will never sell you a pile of marketing motives.
True Story: I adore produce! I love local seasonal ingredients from the hard-working farmers, millers, and ranchers who are behind every great meal, because real ingredients taste really good, and local is everywhere that you are! I am committed to honoring those who work the land because I’m grateful for the gift of life's most basic need, food.
Now. Who Am I? I am a professional baker, chef, recipe developer and mother to seven spectacular children that I adore. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah with my husband. In 2008 I launched a wonderful cookie bakery called RubySnap where fresh cookies abound in creatively distinctive flavor combinations.. Creating and building flavor from fresh ingredients is my love language.
Other Resources for Learning. Because I'm actually spellbound by the way food can transform our homes, hearts, and tables I am passionate about teaching and sharing. You can find me on TV Segments at Studio 5 KSL and teaching in person classes at the amazing Orson Gygi a kitchen design and resource store for all your ingredient and equipment essentials.
Above All! I spend every waking hour thinking about ingredients and how to create culinary moments worth remembering. We have a phrase in our home called “Rough Sundays” in which we gather family around the dinner table and chow down likes it’s the best day of our life! My family will always be my greatest treasure!
