About me
First let me start by saying how incredible it feels that you want to get to know me a little better. I'm a California born and raised gal who is completely rooted in Christ. My family comes first and I will always put somebody else's needs above my own. I have one younger sister and we come from a single mother home, where we were taught empathy, compassion, how to love with everything that we are and how to show that love by our actions!
I am of Portuguese decent and if any of you know about us Portagees, you'd know we are obsessed with good food and great wine! I found my place in the kitchen early on and once I learned to cook I never looked back. I have an extensive palate, partial to garlic and spice, do not eat red meat and enjoy day trips to the vineyards almost more than anything else..I'd have to say wine tasting is my absolute favorite!! I am happily married with two gorgeous daughters and although we love traveling, new experiences, and sharing adventures together as a family, we truly live simply.
Beyond cooking, I love to inspire others and am very passionate about prayer, meditation, self reflection, mindfulness, health and self love.. in my opinion, all of those things wrapped up in a bow is the key to overall wellness. Lastly.... I believe everything is better with a nice, heavy poured glass of full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon!!
