Hi and thanks for stopping by!  My name is Andrea and I like to cook.  A lot.  I’m a 30 something married to a software developer and we live in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio with our boxer, Rocky.

Food Embrace started out as Off Her Cork (which is now my blog coaching business) back in 2008.  It was created so I could have a place for to store my recipes along with documenting our journey towards cleaner eating.

The recipes I post are my own unless otherwise noted.  I create recipes that are easy to make along with being healthy and tasty.

My food philosophy can be summed up in three statements:

• Eat real food.
• Enjoy life as much as possible.
• Beer.

I’m a certified health coach (through Integrative Nutrition) but I prefer the technical side of things. I’m a Blog Coach who helps small businesses develop their online presence through blogging and Twitter.

I’m also a recipe developer and would love to work with you on a project. Just drop me a note.

This space is purely for me to discuss what we eat and drink.  I also like to talk about running and things going on in and around Columbus.

Food and Fitness are the themes here.

I shop and support local as much as possible and I have a list of my favorite places around Columbus.

I experiment a lot in the kitchen and often cook with beer.  We eat pizza on Thursdays and feel that you should too.

Stick around, enjoy the food, and have a beer!
