For this article we journeyed to Japan and made sushi under the trees. My happy place indeed! For more inspiration check out my cookbook! (link in bio) .co

I had such a blast judging the contest last night! What an honor to taste these amazing burgers and help choose the winner to compete in Napa for $25k! I think more food judging may be in my future- it’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it! 🍔 💕 Sutter Home Wines

So honored that whenever my agent and friend needs an on-screen chef she promotes me, and I always have SO much fun! This time my kids got to be on set as part of the shoot and they were thrilled and amazed that so many people work behind the scenes. An amazing learning opportunity to see various careers and to cook on camera. Their favorite part was being called “the talent.” 🤣🥰
