Hi there! I’m happy you’re here. Let me introduce myself a bit more.
Born in Canada, raised in Canada and South Africa, from a young age I was blessed with opportunities to experience many beautiful and different places and cultures. I've grown up with a deep love for the outdoors and feel most at home when surrounded by the beauty of nature.
My passion for baking (and later cooking) all started when I was given an Easy-Bake Oven at 5 years old (if you’re unfamiliar, just imagine a big plastic box with a lightbulb to cook your food. Mind-blowing for a little kid). I found the greatest joy in baking and sharing those little cakes with my entire family. Fast forward 20 years and not much has changed. I love baking, cooking and sharing delicious food with my friends and family.
I believe food is so much more than fuel for our bodies, it’s a connection. Connection with others and connection with ourselves. We gather with it, we celebrate, we laugh, we share, we reminisce, we feel joy. It’s really at the centre of so many moments in our lives.
Ways we can work together!
I decided to take my passion for food a step further and pursue a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and now I’m a registered dietitian in Alberta, Canada! I believe healthy living is about balance. To me, balance is eating foods that nourish our body AND soul (aka: foods that we actually like!), moving our bodies in ways we enjoy (find the activities you like doing and do them!), building deep and authentic relationships, resting when we need it, and so much more. I believe that we can learn and be inspired by each other by sharing our own recipes, ideas and experiences.
I still have a lot to learn, but am so excited you’re here so we can learn together and share more on how we can bring delicious, nutritious home cooking on our outdoor adventures. My hope is that you can find joy and inspiration in these pages and maybe make a friend or two along the way!
