I am a licensed cosmetologist and permanent makeup artist living in Gulfport, FL with my partner, Donna, and our three-year-old daughter, Katie.  I most love cooking Italian, Southern and Mexican food, although I’ll try just about anything if it looks interesting!  I spent a period of time doing home kitchen testing for a national food publication before I had my daughter, and my friends always seem to knock on my door when they need some recipe reconstruction/deconstruction done
