Meet Stephanie

I’m Stephanie, the voice behind The Brunette Foodie.

I grew up in a family where we sat down and ate meals together.  There were 7 of us, and I am sure this wasn’t always an easy feat but my parents made it happen.

Those dinners together have made me a fierce advocate for the importance of eating as a family.  I love recipes that call for whole ingredients {no canned  soup here!}, are uncomplicated {most of the time}, and most importantly, bring everyone together.

I’m a wife and a mother {1 toddler boy + 1 baby girl}.  Originally from Eastern Pennsylvania, I moved to Atlanta, Georgia fresh out of college in May 2006.  We now live just 5 minutes outside of Atlanta in a great historic suburb.  I have a BA in English Literature and a MBA in Finance.  When my son was born, I left the corporate world to become a stay-at-home mom, and I haven’t looked back.

I homeschool, love to read, enjoy coffee, and don’t have any problem baking cookies everyday.  I love sales at Target, pink & green, and Diet Dr. Pepper.  I’m very active in my Catholic Church where I teach 3 year old Sunday School.  I also hold several positions in the Junior League of Atlanta.

TBF is meant to be a place for home cooking and homeschooling.  I am obsessed with meal planning, and I love trying new foods.  Alongside the recipes, you will find posts on our adventures in homeschooling.  We are currently doing the equivalent of 2 year old preschool {which is when school starts in this area}. I’m an avid researcher {read: obsessed}, and I hope to share activities and other fun information with you.

I am a team member at Hip Homeschool Moms, and I am writing a regularly monthly column on recipes for kids at The Homeschool Village starting in March 2012.  Click here for a list of pieces I have written on various websites.

My Bend It Like Bourdain dinner party was featured as a Foodbuzz 24×24 event in February 2011.  On March 16, 2011, I was profiled in the Roswell Patch in an article entitled Side Hustle Chronicles: The Brunette Foodie Earns a Living Saving People Money.  I have worked with a number of brands to develop recipes and review products.

I hope you enjoy looking around and find something to enjoy!
