James enjoys a meal from mom - April 18, 2018

I’m a mom trying to juggle it all living in Marin County, California. Food has been a passion of mine since marathon-watching the Food Network when it was just Julia Child, Emeril Lagasse & The Two Hot Tamales. From an early age, I hosted my mother’s dinner parties from tablescapes to cooking. I gained a passion for bringing people around the table and connecting them through food.

In 2013, while living in San Francisco’s Marina district, I started a food blog called Naturally Marina. It focused on healthy living, yoga and clean eating. Life took me in another direction and I discontinued the blog, but I always wished I had not. 

Since becoming a mom in 2016, I’ve rediscovered the importance of connecting friends and family though cooking, especially my insatiable toddler, James. The joy it brings me has inspired me to start this new website. It will include recipes, home care tips, my new found interest in gardening and of course adventures with James.
