About

Hi there! We are Treks & Bites – your passport to a world of flavor and adventure! As a mother-daughter duo passionate about food, fitness, family, and fun, we are here to share our love of cooking, travel, and exploration with you. Join us on a culinary journey filled with exciting new recipes, exotic spices, and unforgettable experiences. We explore diverse cultures and cuisines to bring exciting new flavors to your life, and we would love to introduce you to our new line of spice blends. Welcome to our kitchen!

We know that so many families pack their days full to the brim but still want to gather at the dinner table for a delicious, nutritious home-cooked meal. After a day full of work plus exercise, sports, kids’ activities, lessons and volunteering, there’s not always enough time to create fancy dishes with lots of ingredients. This is where Treks & Bites spice blends come into play. They are time savers that help busy people turn everyday ingredients into extraordinary meals with just a few shakes, and they are wonderful for meats, veggies, salads, and side dishes.

Broadway Actor/Food & Fitness Blogger

Growing up in the foothills in Northern California, I’ve always had the outdoor adventure bug. Turns out 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 1.5 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!

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!
