Real food, real life, real simple.

I’m not a trained chef. I grew up on a farm in Vermont and figured it out as I went — just like you. For 30 years I’ve been showing people that cooking healthy meals at home doesn’t have to be complicated. Pull up a chair.

  • 30 years with Pampered Chef
  • 39k+ people cooking along on Facebook
  • A new demo every single day
  • No processed stuff — just real ingredients

Watch me make it: Asian Crunch Salad — make a batch on Sunday, grab one from the fridge all week. Stays fresh in a mason jar for 3 days!

What can I do for you?

Shop What I Use

These aren’t just products I sell — they’re the tools I cook with for my own family every day. Thirty years of use means I know what’s worth it and what isn’t.

Host a Virtual Event

Let’s have a Pop Up Shop/Party for you and your friends online – you just invite the people! We pick a theme (like Mexican Fiesta or Pizza Night) and we have a blast!

Join My Team

I started with Pampered Chef to buy two plane tickets. I stayed for 30 years. If you’re motivated, creative, and looking for something that’s actually yours — let’s talk.

Let me take “what’s for dinner?” off your plate!

I’ve been meal planning for my family for decades. It doesn’t have to be elaborate — it just has to be doable. This free 5-day plan is what I actually cook: whole ingredients, simple steps, nothing that requires a culinary degree. I’ll text it right to you.

Drop your info below and I’ll send your free 5-day plan straight to your phone.

My Most-Reached-For Tools

These are three of my favorite Pampered Chef products I reach for again and again. I love cooking “clean,” with high-quality tools, and these make it easy to keep things simple, safe, and effective in the kitchen.

Pizza Stone

I’ve had mine for years and it still makes the best pizza crust you can get outside a wood-fired oven. I use it for veggies & cookies, too!

Stainless Steel Cookware Set

No PFAS, works on any stovetop, and honestly just makes the food taste better. When I’m cooking clean I want my cookware to be clean too.

Deluxe Multi-Cooker

This Small Appliance gets used almost every day! Pressure Cooker, Rice Cooker, Yogurt Maker plus 13 other settings!  Dry Beans are done in less than an hour without soaking!

I’m Not Who You’d Expect

I signed up in my mid twenties!

I post a demo every day usually in the late afternoon.

My background is in theology, not cooking. I grew up on a dairy and maple farm in Vermont. I signed up with Pampered Chef to earn a little extra money — and 30 years later, here we are.

I cook for my family every single day, I post a demo every afternoon, and my therapy dog Teddy and I volunteer in our community when I’m not in the kitchen. My granddaughter Violet has already watched me cook more times than I can count.

This is just my life — and I’m glad you’re part of it.

From My Kitchen This Week

Take a peek at what I’ve been cooking up recently:

    Why the Pampered Chef Deluxe Multi-Cooker (Pressure Cooker) Is One of My Favorite Kitchen Tools

    If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed that I use my Deluxe Multi-Cooker a lot. That’s the Pampered Chef version of the popular electric Pressure Cooker. And there’s a good reason for that. As much as I enjoy cooking, I don’t want to spend all day standing in the kitchen.

    Why I Love Cooking with Stainless Steel Cookware (and How to Get Great Results)

    If you’ve ever tried cooking with stainless steel cookware and ended up with food stuck to the pan, you’re not alone. I hear it all the time: “Julie, I love the idea of stainless steel, but I’m afraid everything will stick!” The truth is, stainless steel cooks a little differently than nonstick cookware. Once you
