I live in Charlotte, NC with my husband (college sweetheart, go Heels!), two sons, and our golden retriever. My background is a mix of event planning and catering. I also went back to school and received a culinary arts degree from Johnson and Wales University. I am passionate about healthy eating, family-friendly recipes, hospitality and entertaining, and overall wellness. I tend to make any special occasion a bit over-the-top. I have Southern roots, but love to travel. You can usually find me in my kitchen wearing workout cloths, drinking coffee, chopping vegetables, surrounded by toy cars, and two little boys running around nearby.
Seven Layer Charlotte is a site focused on food, wellness, family, and entertaining. Sharing my passions of health, hospitality, and daily tips and tricks with other moms like myself is the reason why I blog. I share recipes that fit gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo lifestyles. Our youngest son experienced eczema and leaky gut when he was younger, and we made some major changes to improve his health. I help other moms navigate similar issues, and promote healthier food for families. In addition to those, I like to share kid-friendly meals and occasional fun treats for birthdays and events. Though mostly food-focused, this blog also covers other topics including our travels, beauty, fitness, exploring our hometown of Charlotte, and party planning.
Feel free to reach out! I would love to chat, answer any questions, or discuss collaborations. The best way to reach me is via email: sevenlayercharlotte@gmail.com.
I post daily eats and occasional recipes on Instagram as well!
