About Us






Heather Hall
I have always had passion for food, but not for cooking. I finally realized that eating expensive take-out for the rest of my life just wasn't going to work. I have been surrounded by AMAZING cooks my entire life. I just thought I wasn't cut out for it. One particularly boring night, my husband, Chris, pulled out 3 Corn Dogs for dinner(still painfully his go-to dinner when I'm away). That was when I realized how bad our meals were. Chris has never been a real healthy eater, but his diet was becoming very unhealthy, and just gross. That night I started on a quest to make delicious, Nothing-Like-Corn-Dog, meals. I haven't stopped cooking since.

I grew up in the South in a big extended family, so that pretty much means I grew up eating. I love food, and I love sharing food with people I love, When my dad passed away several years ago, tons of people we knew showed up with banana pudding and fried chicken. At that point, I realized that sharing food is the epitome of expressions of comfort and love. Nothing says "I care about you" or "I know you're having a hard time" quite like food, except maybe flowers, but they don't taste as good.
I love to experiment with ethnic foods, baking, desserts, and low-fat cooking. I don't like to cook or eat much meat, so my recipes reflect that. And of course, I love to cook for other people.

As a kid I used to participate in the Boy Scouts of America. We did an annual 50 mile backpacking trip in the mountains nearby. On my first trip I packed a lot of dry foods like top ramen for dinners. By the end of the trip I hated top ramen! The next year I tried pre-packaged military issue MRIs. My understanding is that they have improved but they didn't taste all that great and after 5 days they had undesirable effects on my system and nobody would stand near me. One year I thought that there has to be a better way to eat well on these trips. I began thinking of creative meals that I could cook while backpacking. I thought of several good and nutritious meals that were made from ingredients that were shelf stable and somewhat light. Since then my creative cooking has spread on to the kitchen as well.
I have a hard time sticking with a recipe... I seem to always want to change it so that it's more healthy or so that it fits my taste better. I love to experiment with food and try new things. When I write recipes I usually write approximate amounts rather than exact amounts so that other people can feel free to change it.
