Welcome to my food groupie life

Life is a journey, and food is a part of what we find and share along the way.  Remember – life is too short for bad food.™

A Little About Myself

I am an office manager at a university by day, a home cook/baker at night, a food anthropologist, and a food groupie every waking moment. Food is a full contact sport in my family and we love to talk about it every chance we get (what to eat, where to find it, and what do we want to fix next). I have a few other interests like playing contrabass clarinet with the Wind Symphony of Clovis, crafting, collecting cookbooks (4000+), and meeting as many chefs and cooks as I can. I will talk about food with anyone, anytime.

Leave a comment or send an email to foodgroupie@forktravel.com.

If you like food as much as I do, feel free to follow me on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or Threads. I will be adding more recipes and content as time goes on, as I want to take the mystery (and fear) out of trying or fixing something new. Want to see something specific?
