Hi! I'm Lori - otherwise known as Lolly Really, all you need to know about me is that I LOVE food! I love thinking about food. I love cooking food. I love talking about food. Plain and simple... I love everything about food. I've always said that the kitchen is my Happy Place. My husband and I have enjoyed cooking together for nearly 30 years - socializing with our family and friends. Before that, I learned to cook from the amazing women in my family. And now, cooking for YOU is my business! When I'm not making food for my clients, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dogs - usually grilling up something delicious in our outdoor kitchen. By now, you may have guessed that I spend a LOT of time searching for and trying out new recipes. Yes, this is my passion! You see, I’m the type of person who wakes up thinking about the next great dish. While eating breakfast, I’m already wondering what we’re going to have for dinner that night. Or I may be pondering what I could prepare if we were to host a party.
