I have been an avid food lover for my entire life. My mom likes to say I was born a bottomless pit, which if you know me, is completely true. I have always loved to eat, but learned to love cooking because of my family. I attended Johnson & Wales University for Baking & Pastry Arts and am now currently teaching fourth grade in Jacksonville, FL. I am obsessed with all things food, but especially sushi and seaside fare. I also obsess over Ina Garten and all things Barefoot Contessa. If you haven't caught on by my now, my life revolves around food and my next meal. Welcome to the Mermaid's Galley!
