Ronda was raised in a very entrepreneurial, food centered home. Her father, Ron, a true visionary who combined his love of cooking with an engaging spirit, and her mother, Carol, the loving backbone of the home along with Grandparents, who brought their rich traditions of Mexico from one side and true Southern Homestyle Cooking from the other, helped plant the seeds of culinary creativity in her younger years.
Ronda’s most cherished role is mother to her three children. They were raised in the kitchen where her cooking focused on fresh ingredients, family favorites, explorations of diverse cultures and heritage cooking. The family meal is still central to Ronda’s home life and each is created with a strong vision of bringing the family together as often as possible.
Ronda worked as a Neurology RN at a Level 2 Trauma Hospital where she saw first-hand the result of poor nutrition and the impact this had on the body. Today, Ronda strives to share her passion for food, fresh air and exercise as the foundational trilogy for healing mind, body and spirit.
