Erica didn’t grow up cooking, In fact she wasn’t allowed in the kitchen. Her parents both worked extremely hard and they weren’t comfortable with her using the oven/stove while they were not home. When Erica moved out on her own at the age of 20, she didn’t know how to cook at all, and her first time trying, she literally burned the entire meal and almost set the house on fire! 

That’s when Erica studied and learned how to cook on her own. She frequently invited her family, friends and co workers over to feast. There was so much laughter, love, and excitement in her kitchen and that made her heart so happy. She started creating her own recipes and it was so much fun crafting meals that tasted amazing and looked beautiful. 

Many years later Erica mastered online marketing and she took a job working for a local farm where she managed their social media. Part of her job was creating a platform where she wrote and executed recipes, using farm fresh ingredients from the farm. She cooked every Sunday night while streaming live on Facebook.
