Broadway Actor/Food & Fitness Blogger
Growing up in the foothills in Northern California, I’ve always had the outdoor adventure bug. In addition, I wound up with the performing bug, too. I was lucky enough to pursue my Broadway dreams for 12 years, and though it was very strange to be away from that world for one and half years during Covid, I absolutely loved being with my family, spending time in the great outdoors, and cooking up a storm! And what a great gift it is to team up with my incredible mom on the Treks & Bites team, bringing our fun recipes, adventures, and fitness fun to you! Nowadays, even though I’ve left New York, I haven’t left Broadway, because I occasionally go back to perform with Wicked on the national tour, and get to enjoy the best of both worlds! Thank you for following along on our journey – we hope to keep seeing you for continued fun in the food, travel, and fitness realms!

Avid Cook, Recipe Developer, Mountain Biker & Roller Blader
I’ve been a foodie my whole life! My mom was a fantastic cook and loved to entertain and I always loved being her assistant. She gave me free rein in the kitchen from a very early age and it all began with my Suzy Homemaker Oven. Before long, the whole kitchen was my oyster. Since 2004, I’ve been a newspaper food columnist, creating recipes for our readers to enjoy, which has been incredibly rewarding. When I was a young mother, my husband and I encouraged our three children to participate in the cooking and as a result they have all become amazing cooks and foodies themselves. This makes us exceptionally happy! We believe a happy home begins in the kitchen and thrives at the dining room table!
