Like many people, I didn’t grow up in a cooking household. There was no grandmother to teach me dishes from the old country. My parents both worked so meals came from cans, boxed mixes, the freezer, or a pizza box. My mother infamously almost burned down the house trying to boil water…twice.

As an adult, my choices were learn to cook, starve, or go broke on take out. I started learning with chefs on TV. Then a job loss led me to culinary school & my own personal chef business. That led to food writing & teaching.

At home, I’m like you. I want dinners that are easy to make, use fewer ingredients, don’t take forever to get on the table, don’t use a ton of fancy or expensive equipment, and that taste delicious. Now, I’m sharing those recipes, along with my tips and tricks with you!

As a personal chef, I’ve been cooking in my clients’ homes for years. This has given me a unique perspective on the term “home cooking”.

Like with any job, friends and family are always asking for advice. I can’t tell you how many messages I’ve received that started with “I’m a bad cook, I made this recipe and it didn’t turn out. What did I do wrong?”

When I open the recipe, the problem is nearly always a poorly written recipe. The second biggest issue is a tie between an unwise substitution or leaving out an important ingredient.

So what makes Life in the Feast Lane different?

All my experience and all the questions I’ve been asked over the years have been combined into this one membership. Meals are simple, delicious and focus on healthy ingredients.
