Deep Ellum Outdoor Market
As a kid, I moved around a LOT (I guess that is the price you pay when your dad is in the moving business). I’ve had the pleasure of living in Chicago, IL; Ann Arbor, MI; Minneapolis, MN, and Dallas, TX. One thing that ALL of these cities have in common is their support of the Arts.
Some of my favorite childhood memories are the hours I spent hanging out with my family, walking through local street fairs. I LOVED eating local treats, picking out handmade jewelry with my mom, and chatting up local artists with my dad. Dad always tries to incorporate local art into my family’s homes.
In an effort to support local artists, artisans, vendors, and fellow makers, I’m going to start sharing some local hot spots, events and/or gems that I’ve found in the DFW area.

Before I start sharing all of my easy (seriously simple, but impressive-looking & delicious) recipes with you, I’ll give you the backstory on how eating REAL FOOD, as well as feeding my friends & family REAL FOOD, turned into one of my many passions.
Being a lover of food, I have struggled with my weight my entire life – until I changed ONE, yes, just ONE THING!! I went organic, yep, that is my secret. I cook at home, using primarily unprocessed, and organic ingredients. I eat when I’m hungry, stop when I’m satisfied. Best of all, I still drink wine and don’t deprive myself of dessert.
