Hi, my name is Deborah and I live on 30 acres in a rural area of Northwest Arkansas in the Ozarks. I have family roots deeply planted in the south. I’ve been called the Cast Iron Diva ever since my grandmother handed down her mother’s cast iron cookware to me and I started creating all sorts of recipes using them.
One of my passions is traveling. I love experiencing different sights, cultures and food. I’ve tried to travel as much as I can. As a kid, we never lived in one place longer than 3 years and we lived in a few different places; California, New Jersey, Germany, Canada and Mississippi. We also traveled a lot through Europe, safaried in Africa and took many road trips throughout the United States, I think that is when the travel bug bit me. As an adult I’ve taken many grand adventures, including South America, Caribbean, Mexico, Europe and across the United States including Alaska and Hawaii.
My main hobby is cooking, I love it and don’t think of it as a chore. Even when I worked 50+ hour weeks, I still came home made dinner and loved it. Nothing is like the gift of food, so much love and thought goes into creating a meal. It brings the whole family together at the table to discuss the days events, love, life, laughter, it’s all there and it happens over food. What event in life doesn’t have food?
I am also an avid photographer, which goes hand-in-hand with both food and traveling.
