About me

Hey I'm Jaz! I'm a wife, mother, IT Professional and among the many things I enjoy pursuing, cooking for my family tops the list. There's a sense of that 'ahhhh' that comes with knowing you have fed your loved one's belly.

 

As a busy professional, I need simple, easy and 'good for you' recipes to put on the dinner table on a weeknight, and indulge in something more decadent over a relaxing weekend. My recipes are reflective of just that. All recipes are gluten-free, almost entirely dairy-free, refined sugar free and always whole food based. 

Take a peek at the recipes. I hope you find something of interest that sends you cooking! 

 

Enjoy!
