I'm a full time stay-at-home Latter-day Saint (Mormon) mom and sometimes freelance illustrator. I have two very gregarious, energetic and inventive little girls who always keep things interesting. I grew up with a mom who was (and still is)forever trying out crazy health fads, and that in combination with my own adventures in figuring out allergies, living in Taiwan and trying to get my kids to eat their veggies have resulted in some creative endeavors in the kitchen. My husband is one of my more discerning critics, as he is, himself, a good cook, but, unlike me, his top priorities are taste and texture. It's no good if it doesn't taste good, but it's even better if it's healthy too!
