Thanks for Sharing!

Hello & Welcome!  My name is Tina.  I live with my husband, Lou, and two daughters.  I have been cooking happily since I was around 8.  I grew up in a large family and as the youngest child in the family, I spent a lot of time helping my Mom in the kitchen.  I learned all the basics from working by her side.

I love all aspects of food: the colors, the aromas, the textures.  It is my passion!  I love trying to cook anything I haven’t attempted before.  I love experimenting with new techniques.  I try to perfect dishes I’ve prepared lots of times.  I always want to develop the best way to prepare a dish and serve it in an inviting and beautiful way.  Watching people enjoy my food makes me happy.  When I go out to eat, I always love to try something new.  I find inspiration in every menu and meal.  I hope you’ll join me on this journey and hopefully I can provide a little inspiration for you!

I have been creating, writing, photographing and publishing my own recipes here since 2013!  I have published over 200 recipes! – to view them click “Tina’s Recipes.”  I love all kinds of recipes: totally homemade, semi-homemade and those “project” type recipes that are fun to conquer!  Some recipes are on the healthy side and some are once-in-a-while treats!  I’m all about balance!

I have competed in recipe and cooking contests!  Most notably, I was the 2012 Grand Prize Winner of the Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest and the Runner Up on Food Network’s America’s Best Cook.  You can read more about the contests here.

Since 2016, I have been representing KitchenAid on QVC!  I love sharing my passion for cooking and baking with all the wonderful Foodie viewers!  I post the schedule here and all the recipes I demonstrate here!  

Feel free to reach out on the “Contact” page – I’d be happy to answer any questions!
