A Little More About Me
To this day whenever I tell my mom what I'm cooking for dinner, her response is always "you gotta have something green to go with it!”😄
But honestly, in the past I struggled with cooking a variety of vegetables and incorporating them into my meals. It wasn’t until 2016, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer that I began to realize how vital and extremely important it was to eat more nutritious, wholesome foods. At the same time my doctor also shared several great resources on how I could improve my eating habits to help me live a healthier life. In her own words, “she never wanted to have to see me [for chemo] ever again.”
Challenge accepted! After fighting cancer, I began expanding my knowledge of food, I started cooking with more seasonal produce, and began using less processed ingredients. As someone who also struggles with high blood pressure, I also reduced my intake of pork and red meat which is why you see so many chicken and ground turkey recipes on my site. I eventually started sharing my recipes on YouTube and then the Maple Jubilee brand was born!⭐️
My Family: Party of Five
I have a wonderful husband who just so happens to be my high school sweetheart and 3 beautiful children. One of my daughters is autistic. Her need for extra care and lots of therapy prompted my decision to leave Corporate America in 2020 and become a full-time food blogger. Although our house can get pretty crazy😜 at times, I absolutely love my family and I'm truly blessed beyond measure!
A Few Fun Facts About Me
- Sweet Potatoes are my favorite food, especially these Candied Yams and this Sweet Potato Pie, but Collard Greens come in a close second.😉
- YouTube is my biggest media platform with over 50,000 subscribers. It's also where I first shared my breast cancer journey with the world to help inspire other fighters and survivors.💕
- I previously worked for two years as a Senior Recipe Developer for the popular food blog, Budget Bytes. It was a lot of fun and helped me grow my skills as an experienced recipe developer.
- My education background is in Communications. I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Corporate Communications.
- I worked in Corporate America for a Fortune Global 500 automotive company for 13 years before leaving to provide extra care for my autistic daughter.
- I just so happen to be a yogi! I’m a certified 200hr Yoga Instructor and taught yoga for 5 years.
- I have a strong Christian faith and one of my favorite scriptures is Eph 3:20.
