Hi There
Tammie is my name and foodie is my game. I would have never imagined my mouth utter those fine words. For the longest time I have battled against the food gods; been defeated, and surrendered to scrapes, bruises, and lifetime scars. To many people, food is an enemy but I believe with much determination, knowledge, trial and error, and most importantly acceptance, anyone can embrace food as their lifelong companion. I have but it sure wasn't easy.
​
When I learned of my many food intolerances, I was discouraged like any regular human being but as you all know, feeling sorry for yourself will not get you anywhere so I did what my mom always encouraged me to do - study, study, study. And as a teacher, I did just that. I bought books, I read, analyzed, attended conferences, expanded my knowledge. I began creating a library in my brain and then eventually I took to the kitchen. Experimenting with recipes, and reading bookmarked food blogs was what preoccupied my time. After years of making mistakes and getting things right, I found a balance. The failures I experienced became my blessings.
Now my body and mind are at a comfortable place. I have found peace with food. I have made amends with my enemy. My pH is leveled and my hormones are balanced, all with the help of knowledge, error, and the right foods. I have also been inspired by many people over the years; some near, some far, some I knew well and some I never met.
​
I now sell desserts, cater to parties, and entice the sweet teeth of the world but ultimately my goal is for my clients to know me, understand where I come from and know (and believe) that I have their backs!
​
Everyone has a story and I stand beside many who have struggled. I will leave you with this last thought. If you have a goal, embrace it, relish it, work it, cherish it, and become it!
