Sara
Sara is a food lover, mama of two, wife to her best friend and crafter at heart. Born in Mexico City, she grew up surrounded by food. Cooking is in her DNA.
After graduating from culinary school in her hometown, she had a once in a lifetime opportunity to transfer to Arizona for work in the hotel industry. Little did she know she would meet the love of her life on her first day of work. They are proud parents of two bilingual toddlers.
She loves cooking for family and friends. When she is not in the kitchen, she is probably making arts and crafts with her kids or binge watching Netflix with her hubby.
