Welcome! My name is Alison. My friends and family call me Ali. I was born in the Ozarks with a family history in Missouri and Southeast Kansas. I've lived most of my life in the Kansas City area. I have the BEST husband, and 2 college-aged kids. I'm a chemical engineer turned entrepreneur. After leaving corporate America, I focused on raising our family while owning a couple of businesses. Eventually, my husband and I purchased a business together in 2013. With a lot of sweat, tears, and amazing team members helping us along the way, we sold our business in 2024. This road we have traveled has allowed me to pursue something I am passionate about.....I like to cook!

My experience:
I’m a former master gardener and seasoned home cook with over 25 years of cooking experience.
My background has provided a unique set of skills to help you plan and create memorable meals for your family and friends. From the details needed to write and test accurate recipes (procedures) from my engineering and business ownership background, and my Master Gardener experience helping other gardeners with their questions, and ultimately the culinary classes and years of cooking experiences that have all helped me narrow down the best methods to prepare an ingredient.
