Christy is a self-proclaimed foodaholic. She grew up in Mesa, Arizona, as the youngest of ten kids. She has 40 nieces and nephews and counting. Food and family were always intertwined in her childhood, and most of her memories revolve around food. She took ballet and contemporary dance for 14 years and also played the viola for 10 years. Music is a big part of her life, which is why on any given day you can find her in the kitchen with the tunes cranking! She graduated from Brigham Young University in Computer Science and worked at a Forensic Science software company until 2005, when she had her first son.

She always loved food, but didn't really start cooking and baking until she got married and realized she needed to feed this huge man of hers. She loves running, and ironically most of her recipe ideas are brainstormed during her runs. She started her blog, The Girl Who Ate Everything, in 2008, and worked as a freelance writer and recipe developer for General Mills starting in 2010. She's been married 13 years and has been living in sunny Florida for nine years, where her husband plays football for the Miami Dolphins. She is a mother to five kids and loves her life.
