About me

Location Fairfield County, CT
Introduction Welcome to The Full Plate blog, where you'll find simple, healthful recipes...so parents like you can nourish your families, even on the busiest of days. I am a recipe developer, culinary instructor and former personal chef. But first and foremost, I'm a mom. I love spending time in my kitchen… but I certainly don't want to spend all day in it! Here, I share my recipes for both make-ahead and simple-to-make recipes so you, too, can collect "bonus hours" to spend with your family, friends… or so you can just enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day. Poke around the blog, try a recipe that sounds good, or grab one of my ebooks with done-for-you shopping lists, freezer-friendly recipes, packaging recs, and more. Scroll down to search for a particular recipe, or to see some of the awards my blog has won. I hope that you enjoy my recipes, and that you, too, start collecting those "bonus hours".
