About Me
Hi, my name is Carly, coming to you from the North Okanagan, in British Columbia, Canada. I am a dedicated full-time content creator, who’s very passionate about food, cooking, and creating new recipes. I am also in the process of planting, harvesting, and (fingers crossed) canning my own vegetables later this fall for the first time ever. Stay tuned for progress updates.
In my humble opinion, it’s never too late to follow your dreams and make a change, and that’s exactly what I did!
For the past 18 or so years after completing my diploma in performing arts, I worked extensively in the hospitality and retail industries in western Canada and southern California doing everything from serving and bartending to retail sales, management, buying, and designing. During this time I had the great fortune to travel all over the United States, Mexico, and Europe. I suppose this is when my passion for trying new food and creating my own recipes really began. I absolutely LOVE traveling, and will always be exploring all of the amazing places in the world.
After my work visa expired and I had to return to Canada, I knew I needed to continue to pursue something creatively fulfilling while also being my own boss.
And that’s how this blog came to be. There were a few other stepping stones and courses along the way because this doesn’t just happen overnight, it’s a mix of hard work, perseverance, a willingness to evolve, and really loving what you do. Honestly, if I can do it anyone can! I am 100% self-taught in the kitchen and on the internet. I work full-time creating content for social media, developing new recipes, taste-testing vintage recipes, and constantly looking for opportunities to grow.
I Love Food!
In this space, I am always sharing fresh, flavorful, healthy recipes that I love to make and eat in my real, day-to-day life. My goal is to inspire you with food that is both approachable and exciting, whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, or your friends. I want you to be able to come here and find something to cook every day of the week!
Let’s create something amazing together!
