Hi! I’m Rachel! I like to cook, mom, play tennis and run my nonprofit organization, One Day to Remember. I grew up in South Bend, IN but moved to Pittsburgh, PA for nursing school in 2008. With Pittsburgh roots from my dad’s side, I fell in love with the city and sealed the deal when I met my husband.

Cooking has always been a big part of my life and being in the kitchen as a child with my mom and grandmothers helped us feel connected. Like the typical Jewish parents and grandparents, recipes weren’t an exact science. As i grew older, I began experimenting with my own flavors and adding in those from memory. Since 2010, I have been the Girl that Foodies and started actually trying to write down recipes to share casually with friends.

Two kids and a dog later, food is still a huge part of my everyday life. I am a busy mom of two so no, I do not cook everyday but I cook a lot and love having the kids in the kitchen with me. My recipes are meant for everyone and I hope that I can share my passion, love of food and inspire you to get in the kitchen and create your own memories together.

I’m so grateful you are on this journey with me and can’t wait to see what you make!
