Here’s the story
I’m newly married, living in Brooklyn, and completely broke. I worked odd freelance writing and social media gigs to get us by, but money was super tight. We survived on $50 a week for our food — groceries and takeout included! So I had to get really good at making meals at home. During this time, I discovered a deep passion for cooking and decided to shift my career because of it.
I use this blog to show others some of my tricks of the trade. From delicious, cheap recipes and favorite products to budgeting secrets and healthy tips, I’m giving you a glimpse of what it’s like inside my world. So if you’re craving a new online best friend — or a helpful guide for your grocery cart — pull up a seat. And bring a fork. You’re going to get hungry.
Outside of my blog, I work as a food writer, photographer, and recipe developer. My articles and recipes have been featured in multiple national publications including Taste of Home, Eat This, Not That!, Buzzfeed, Reader’s Digest, Bustle, and many more.
