I’m a Home Economist.

I have a BS in Home Economics plus oodles of post grad work in food science and packaging technology. I am a HomeEc nerd.

You’re probably wondering what the heck a Home Economist is and what we do.

Well, a Home Economist is someone who takes ideas and makes them useable.

Products, too.

We’re practical and like things to be practical, easy to use and easy to understand.

You’ll find us behind the scenes everywhere.

We’re trained in 5 areas:

• Foods and Nutrition

• Human Development

• Clothing and Textiles

• Consumer Education

• and Housing and Design

You could call me a foodie because I’ve been in the kitchen all of my life.

It started when I was little. My mother never cooked. I got hungry and had to fend for myself.

Since then, I’ve been a restaurant and bakery owner.  Lifestyle radio host.  Award winning, food focused journalist.  Cook book author.  Country inn proprietor and farm to table teacher. I now spend my days at my laptop and in the garden.  I have, what you could call, a delicious life!!

People are always asking me questions about cooking and baking.  Nutrition, health and wellness, too.  Kitchen gardening and food preservation. Life style. Holidays. How to choose a good wine. What cook books I like. What to make for dinner and all kinds of stuff.  Anything and everything so I thought I’d take the plunge and put it all here. 

What do you think?

Will anyone read my posts?  

And maybe even comment or browse my blog or buy my books?

Or share my thought with others?

Let’s see what happens…..
