About

I’ve always been a problem solver. As a kid, I learned to figure things out for myself — from fixing my car with my dad to teaching myself recipes. That spirit has been a throughline in my personal and professional life.

After I had my first child, I was inspired to start Baby Buggy, now the Good+Foundation, to help support parents and children. I couldn’t have imagined what it would become, and am so proud that nearly 25 years later, we have reached hundreds of thousands of parents and children across the country.

A couple of years after starting Baby Buggy, I found myself searching for solutions for a different sort of problem: an extremely picky eater. My experiments in sneaking vegetables into my daughter’s favorite foods turned into my first cookbook, Deceptively Delicious. Five books later, I’m still excited about making life in the kitchen easier and more joyful.

I’m currently passionate about the opportunity to use storytelling and documentary film to connect with people around some of the important issues facing families today. When I’m not working, I’m happiest gathered around a table with loved ones — or doting on my cats and new puppy.

Warmly,
