As a wife of 30 years to my high school sweetheart, Patrick and mom of two precious daughters, I know first hand how challenging it is to get dinner on the table every night. And I quickly realized that if we didn’t have those few minutes together at dinner we might not get much time to connect at all that day. So I was always looking for quick and easy dinner ideas and cooking shortcuts, I also began building a working pantry so I could easily prepare a meal for us to share most nights of the week. This became a real priority and passion for me in my own home. And I believe that the Lord gives each one of us gifts, talents, and passions so that we can use them to encourage others and glorify Him. So as I was entering a new stage in my life, I felt a pricking at my heart to share some of what I have learned with others. And I’m a visual learner so I felt YouTube was the perfect vehicle for me and wow! I’ve been blessed with an amazing community there full of precious viewers who encourage and support me more than I could ever repay to them!
