I believe in things that are modern, clever and well-made. I embraced that philosophy early on, launching my first business ventures as a young kid selling brownies, lemonade and handmade Christmas ornaments.

Here, you’ll find inspiration for modern home cooking and fresh ways to make your home and life better. You also can purchase my new biscuit mixes and sign up for my online biscuit-making classes.

For my business friends, you’ll find my consumer brand consulting company and the successes we’ve had—shaping McDonald’s All Day Breakfast, reconnecting Campbell’s with American food culture and pioneering the fast-casual category that paved the way for brands like Panera Bread to thrive.

Whether you're looking for a new dish to try, fresh home inspiration or strategic brand advice, this is a place to spark ideas, engage with sage counsel and make your every day better.
