About

Hi, I’m Alex!

I’m a Wife and Mother to 3 beautiful little boys. I have been happily married to my husband Andre for 10 years. We have made a home in beautiful Colorado. I am native to Colorado and have loved being able to raise my family here. I was a colligate gymnast at Utah State University where I competed all four years, during that time I earned my Bachelor’s degree and Masters Degree in Exercise Science. My husband was a college football player and I hooked him with my cooking. He hasn’t left my table since that first meal of Fried Catfish with Red Beans and Rice.

My love of cooking started at a very young age. I “lived” in the kitchen under my grandparents, aunts, mothers and fathers. They developed my cooking foundation. From learning how to cut up a whole chicken at the age of 8, to being in charge of several Thanksgiving day dishes. I knew my place was important, because everyone was fed and enjoying delicious food with the family. You could say my foundation is in Soul Food naturally, but I also love exploring and making ALL styles of cuisine, from Asian to Italian to Kid Cuisine!

Keenan, Malcolm and Jaylen are my world. They keep me honest and on my toes at all times. When I’m not in the kitchen, I’m running them to activities, Speech therapy, doing homework, and again cooking for them! Somehow it all revolves around the kitchen. They love to be in the kitchen right by my side. I feel it’s important for them to learn early about kitchen safety and kitchen basics. These skills will last a lifetime and help them lead happy healthy lives. You will have to check out my Kid Cuisine category dedicated to them!
