I’ve debated starting this blog for SO long. Honestly, I’ve probably way overthought it cuz why wouldn’t I just start?? I’m always cooking anyways and I love sharing with you guys so I might as well just write it all down!

I’ve been cooking for as long as I can remember. Back to the days when I would sit on the counter and help my mom make Christmas cookies to hand deliver to our neighbors (which we should bring back by the way)

Growing up, I watched the food network while most kids were watching cartoons & I dreamed of the day that I would get my own cooking show

So cooking has always been the dream!

Growing up, it took me a long time to find my footing with balancing food with health, but the result was worth the wait.

I went on to get my degree in nutrition and public health from Keene State in Keene, NH & while I thought I’d go on to be a dietitian, my love for culinary nutrition was stronger than it was for medical nutrition

I battled with myself (& honestly the Lord) for about 5 years before I opened my coffee trailer Pretty Sipsy Coffee Bar

We’ve been in business for almost a year now & while it has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done, I am continually left speechless and honestly a little emotional with how much God has shown up

Pretty Sipsy’s journey is just beginning and we’re still navigating next steps, and while I absolutely love her, my cup still has some room left to fill

I have always been so passionate about encouraging others to not only learn how to cook, but to learn how to prepare a nutritious meal that doesn’t take hours and the most important part? That you would wanna share with someone else.

& with starting a business (which many tell me is like having a child), I DESPERATELY need to be efficient in the kitchen

So that’s how Shortcut Kitchen was born!

I must admit, I started my insta about 10 years ago & I would flip flop our “niche” for quite some time but something just never felt right about it until I realized I don’t want this to be for me. I want it to be for YOU! 

So my hope for our little corner of the internet is to empower you to know that you CAN cook, you CAN eat healthy, & food ALWAYS tastes better when you share it with a friend :)

Love ya & we’ll see ya around 🫶🏻
