Hi, I’m Katie! I’m a first time mom with a passion for nutrition and healthy living. I have a Master’s of Public Health in Health Promotion and am a Certified Culinary Medicine Professional, but my real passion for food started long before that — in my mom’s kitchen, measuring flour, chopping vegetables, and snapping green beans on the front porch. I believe food is a gift meant to be shared. Here at Gathered and Growing, you’ll find recipes that are both nourishing and satisfying, along with simple nutrition tips you can actually use for you and your family.
I created Gathered and Growing as a platform to share what I’ve done, what I’m doing, and where I’m going in my motherhood toward a healthier, more joyful life.
A few fun facts about me:
- I played tennis in high school and college — this is where my love for nutrition began!
- I love creating menus (even painting the menu). From brunch to dinners, combining seasonal nourishing food upon the table among friends and family brings me so much joy.
- I recently resigned from my job as a County Extension Agent where I taught classes on cooking, food preservation, healthy living, and bread making. All of which I enjoy doing at home!
- I grew up in Alabama, then lived in New Mexico for 6 years, and currently reside in Texas with my husband and baby boy.
- I love to bake, paint, and get outside (when it’s not so hot).
Rooted in faith, nourished by home, growing together.
Thank you for your response. ✨
