Hello! I am Mary, THE fervent foodie, and the brains behind this blog. I’m originally from Akron, Ohio and relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina last year for a new job–I’m a bean counting CPA. You know… I computate numbers and such.
Given the title of this blog, I’m sure it comes as no surprise to you that my world revolves around food. I’m slightly obsessed. I spend countless hours each week reading about it, researching it, cooking it, exploring it, talking to strangers about it (yes, strangers… don’t worry, I don’t take their candy).
Food is the thread that links the pieces and parts of my days together. It’s what brings light to my eyes during conversation. It’s what brings a smile to my face at the end of a trying week. It’s what intrigues me, excites me, challenges me, and nourishes my body and mind.
Ultimately, food is the soul of my being, and I don’t use the term “fervent” lightly. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated by it all. My free time is devoted to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious.
With all this EATING going on, you can click here to read about my take on healthy living.

Hi Mary! I just found your blog via Alycia’s (FitNFresh) and the first thing I saw on here is that you are a CPA. Congratulations! That is not an easy series of exams! I should know since I’m surrounded by accountants (my husband is an accountant as well as a big group of our friends). So kudos there!
And also, I love that you love food so much! That’s wonderful!
Thank you for all the kind words! You are right — the CPA exam is no piece of cake!
So glad I found your blog, cannot wait to hear more about you
Your eyes are really pretty and this blog is awesome!
