As a native of the Pacific Northwest, I come from a large, lively, and close-knit family. For us, food and nutrition was essential, but celebrating and living life with those we love became even more paramount. I gained appreciation for food and cultures in the diverse metropolitan city, Seattle. I met Scott in my early 20’s and moved to Southern California where he resided. There, I learned to integrate more Southwestern flavors into my palate and my appreciation for food and flavors further expanded.
We have three kids together, and as a busy mom, developing recipes with nutritious food has become even more important for me. I delved into learning the best practices when it comes to what we fuel our bodies with, and have spent years perfecting my craft. I started sharing my recipes and working with clients through my company website, Artful Palate. As Fast.Eat.Live. was born, I began to tailor my recipes to this plan’s system! It was a natural fit. I am incredibly passionate about teaching others how to live and eat well.
