Welcome to Carefree Cooking…I'm glad you stopped by to see what's cooking. Be sure to check the links to see my current sample menus and other information about my Personal Chef service.

First, a bit about me. I've loved to cook since I was a young girl, sitting in the kitchen watching my mom cook. I soon took over when she was gone during the day, and I learned lots of lessons - sometimes the hard way! There were also summer visits to my Grandmother's house where food was at the top of the list of activities and love.

This passion has continued to grow into my adulthood, and after retiring from a large telecommunications company I decided to share my love of cooking and good food with others.

I am a Certified Personal Chef and Premier member of the U.S. Personal Chef Association. My self-taught culinary skills span more than 40 years, and my formal training includes classes in Chicago and Atlanta, including the ServeSafe training sponsored by the National Restaurant Association. I'm also a graduate of the U.S. Personal Chef Institute in Atlanta. I live with my husband (who can't wait for dinner each night) in Decatur.
