Q the ChefThanks! Well, I was actually given the nickname in my first life in the mortgage industry and I used it all throughout culinary school to label all of my tools, and it just stuck.
FoodieChatsSo how long have you been a “Foodie” for?

Q the ChefI’d have to say since the moment I could solid foods. Even as a child, I would analyze my food, ask questions, and learned to appreciate it early on. I have dreams about food. Is that normal? :)
FoodieChatsSome dream in colors, you dream in food :) Love it! What was your latest food dream?

Q the ChefIt was actually last night. I had the color pink on my mind, so I was trying to find every possible type of food that could be pink. That dream took forever!
Q the ChefThat’s really the toughest question. I can’t narrow it down to just one. Instead, I’ll say that I prefer fresh, colorful food. For lunch today, I made frisee & arugula salad with golden beets and radishes in a lemon vinaigrette.
FoodieChatsWhat do you normally have for breakfast?

Q the ChefI prefer a savory breakfast, but for the sake of time, I stick to half a toasted english muffin, along with peanut butter and local honey. I need my protein first thing in the morning, and I get that from the peanut butter, and energy from the carbs.
FoodieChatsTell us a little more about your business. Also use the … if you are going to continue your thought. This is a more involved question :)

Q the ChefWell, I am a Chef but more so, a Culinary Nutrition Specialist. I enjoy spreading the word about good food, healing through food, and about a balanced diet (not your average food pyramid balanced diet). I do this through writing (i.e. my blog, future book, etc), as well as on social media. I do provide food styling and cooking demo services as well.
FoodieChatsHow has social media played a role for you in your business?

Q the ChefSocial media has played a MAJOR role in my business. It is the primary way I spread the word about my work and my passion for food. In addition, I am thankful for the foodie community that I have become a part of and all of the wonderful people that I have met through social media.

Q the ChefIt was a Monday night, and I saw all of my foodie friends talking about food a little more the usual. So, I followed the hashtag and then I was hooked. :) This is another great community.
FoodieChatsOur #Foodiechats theme this coming Monday is of course “Valentines Day” Do you have a special Valentines dish? Will you be making a Valentines Dinner this year?

Q the ChefI actually do not have a Valentines Day dish in my collection. Usually, my husband and I go out to dinner, but I think we may stay in this year. I was thinking about making something special. Maybe something with a red sauce? ;) ♥
