About Me

One of my favorite items in the kitchen!

Welcome!


My name is Ashley, I'm a 20-something food-loving girl that moved to Utah in February 2009 to live with my boyfriend, Timmy {the love of my life}. While I've been out here I've become more and more interested in cooking and decided that I should go to Culinary School. I've been enrolled in the program since Fall of 2010 and I'm about to graduate in the Spring of 2013! School has been a great journey which has broadened my culinary skills.

I love to spend time with friends and family. Cooking for friends is a pleasure when I can. I've had a lot of support from them, especially from Timmy's family. They are such great people.

Some activities I enjoy are hiking and gardening. I love growing vegetables and herbs. I also love to play video games, I mostly play World of Warcraft and have been for the past 7 years {I'm a complete nerd}. That's actually how I met Timmy, and I'm glad that I did, he's such a wonderful guy.
