Looking for something?
Eat Well. Do Good. Support Local.
Hello! My name is Mackie and I am a food lover located in Philly. I love to share recipes and talk about all things food - especially food that supports community.
I don’t believe in sharing my life story with you every recipe, so my promise to you is that this is the most I will talk about myself.
I grew up in the kitchen helping my Nonna cook, but I was not easy to feed. I didn’t eat my first salad until I was 18 years old. I was the world’s pickiest eater growing up… not to mention stubborn beyond belief. I was on a steady diet of obstinance, potatoes, corn, pasta, and pizza until I got to college and decided I wanted to lose weight. It quickly became apparent to me that I would never really be healthy unless I branched out and explored vegetables… and dare I say, even RAW vegetables from time to time.
The funny thing about this journey was that it became my passion! There was no stopping me. So, I spent all my time teaching myself to cook and was always the first to jump at the opportunity to try a new restaurant. I also worked in the food and beverage industry for a while as a bartender and server, but I eventually left. However, it will always hold a special place in my heart.
I hope you find a recipe that brings you some joy! Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy!
