Meet Lindsay
Hi, I'm Lindsay, part of the team here at The Café. I'm married to Scott and Chris's son, Nick and feel so blessed to have them as my in-laws. When our first daughter was born, I decided to stay at home with her. Around that time, the blog was really taking off, and Chris asked if I would like to help out a bit while the baby slept. Almost thirteen years later and I've had the chance to do a little bit of everything behind the scenes!
Why I'm Here...
These days I create the seasonal recipe round-ups and the cooking videos featured on the site. If you've left a comment with a review or requested labels it was probably me who replied. I love hearing how Chris's recipes feed your families and create warm, lasting memories together.
A Little More About Me...
For as long as I can remember, I've loved good food. When I was little, I adored going to Fresh Market with my parents, where we'd pick up ingredients for dinner, breathe in the aroma of all the coffees, and scoop a bag of trail mix from the big barrels. As I got older and moved beyond the kids' menu, I couldn't wait to try new dishes whenever we ate out. In high school, I would watch the Food Network while doing homework, with Ina Garten and Giada De Laurentiis teaching me how to chop, stir, and create delicious meals.
I met Nick (Scott and Chris's son) in college, and we quickly knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. On one of our first dates, he made me a fabulous shrimp pasta and topped it off with a Ben & Jerry's ice cream sundae drizzled with homemade hot fudge sauce. I soon learned that his mom was an incredible cook who loved feeding her family and friends. Whenever I came home with Nick for the weekend, I'd find myself at Chris's kitchen island, where she'd give me a task, chopping veggies and herbs, mixing cake batter, or whatever needed doing. She lovingly taught me how to cook, one meal at a time. Once Nick and I were married, he became the best audience for my newlywed cooking adventures, always encouraging me and cheering me on.
Nick and I have two kids and two dogs who keep us busy and laughing every day. We live in Asheville, NC, where we get to live out all our outdoorsy dreams... hiking, camping, paddling, and soaking up the beauty of the mountains we call home. We love gathering friends and family in our home for casual hangouts and delicious food. My faith in Jesus has been, and continues to be, the most constant thing in my life. When the world feels chaotic, it's my faith that brings me peace and hope for the future.
I'm so excited about the future of this site and the opportunity to connect with all of you. Here's to many more good times around the table!
