Mexican food never gets old for me. I truly could eat it everyday and never tire of it. Yet, I do believe my body would disagree. The enchiladas are wrapped in thinly sliced Zucchini instead of tortillas which makes the dish low-carb and gluten free. I love this recipe because you really don’t miss the […]

Tacos are the perfect food. They’re easy to prepare, unfussy and somehow they always seem to hit the spot. This summer we’ve been eating some variation of this recipe every week or so. It’s perfect for those busy weeknights when you just need something you can throw together in 30 minutes or less. I usually […]

We’re in the full swing of summer—the season of celebrating sunshine and warmer weather, where weekends are packed with BBQ’s, pool parties, family reunions, camping, boating and everything in between. Guacamole is always a good decision, but it’s really the perfect snack to bring to the 4th of July BBQ you’re heading to tomorrow, or […]

If you’re a regular reader you know how much I love Mediterranean food, and when it comes to hummus there’s no exception. In my opinion hummus is one of the best tasting and healthiest condiments of all time. The first time I tried making hummus myself I was amazed at how easy it was, especially […]

If there was one type of cuisine I I could eat everyday and not get sick of it, it would be Mediterranean without question. I love all the different flavors and spices from cumin and paprika to roasted red peppers, kalamata olives and feta cheese. Then there’s the warm homemade pita bread and hummus drizzled […]

When life gives you Meyer Lemons…preserve them! At my local farmers market this weekend I found these gorgeous, fragrant Meyer Lemons that I just couldn’t resist. Meyer Lemons are a variety mostly available in the winter and spring months. They are a little smaller and have a sweeter flavor than traditional lemon varieties and are considered […]

My journey with food and wellness began at my Grandma Eunie’s table, where she inspired my love for cooking with her famous pastries and hearty Midwest meals. Working in restaurants from Seattle to San Francisco, I learned cooking techniques and wine pairings that deepened my culinary passion. This love for sharing food eventually led to the creation of my original blog, Cooking Loves Company as a space for health inspiration and nutritious recipes. My aim is to empower others to find joy in preparing wholesome meals and to make cooking an enjoyable and nourishing part of life.

In 2009, I began my career as an Esthetician in San Francisco, quickly finding my passion in clinical skincare. I spent seven years working alongside Dr. Kathleen Welsh in a top Bay Area dermatology practice, refining my expertise in results-driven skincare techniques like chemical peels, micro-needling, and dermaplaning. Today, I offer holistic skincare treatments that blend relaxation with visible, lasting results, drawing from both my Health Education background and personal wellness journey. Now back in Kirkland, I enjoy cooking for my family, spending time outdoors, and creating new recipes to share with you. Join me on this journey towards radiant health—both in the kitchen and beyond!
