My Story

I’ve had a love of good food for as long as I can remember, but I didn’t always have much of an interest in cooking it myself. In my college and early married years I began experimenting in the kitchen. Almost instantly I discovered not only a love of cooking, but a passion for up-leveling ordinary dishes into something truly memorable by making simple ingredient swaps and utilizing easy, but powerful cooking techniques to infuse as much flavor as possible into each and every meal. Insert my longtime hobby of photography and it was a perfect combination – a food blog was meant to be. 

I began Creme de la Crumb in 2013 while I was still attending college and preparing for nursing school when I started CDLC.  I soon found that creating and sharing food with people around the world through this blog truly fulfilled my desire to care for and connect with others in a way I had never before considered. This blog has grown faster and larger than I would have imagined and has allowed me opportunities to travel and experience other cuisines and cooking methods, as well as meet people from around the world. I am so grateful for these experiences and how they have helped shape the past, present, and future of CDLC and the recipes I continually create and share with you.
