About
A western PA native, I’m currently living in Pittsburgh with a few lobster placements. Little did I know that a gift from a family friend would turn into a food + art blog. They remind me to laugh a little at every meal and take joy in the company of others around the table.
This blog is a place for me to practice not only healthy living – but an art-inspired existence. I love playing with food – creating new dishes and using meals to tell both old and new stories. I also enjoy art projects in almost any shape or form.
I’m a 20-something “young professional,” working in public relations at a university. I recently received my MFA in Creative Writing & Publishing Arts, where I published a fictional novella and honed my skills as a bookmaker.

Also, please note that I am a food enthusiast and not a registered anything. I’ve written about food journalistically for a newspaper, but that’s as far as my technical experience reaches! I hope to someday receive a wellness certification but for now that’s just in the works.

Muahaha – first commenter! I feel like I’m in on a secret
I love the header, Rose! It was so great to meet you tonight. I feel like we have a lot in common and hope we’ll be able to meet in person again someday!
cantaloupe?! really?! I would have never guessed! I thought it was oatmeal!
What is your first name? Have you always gone by your middle name?
hi, I just found your blog and have been enjoying reading through some posts. It looks great! And love the lobster pic on your banner.
Oooh where near Pittsburgh! I grew up in Allegheny County and went to school in Squirrel Hill!
Hi Rose! Just found your blog and I’m loving it! I was a journalism and english major in college also. I hope to get into an MFA program someday, but I don’t think I’m quite ready yet. I much admire your determination!
Ah, 5’0″ friends unite!
my middle name is Rose too
I’m 5’0″, too! Hurray for little people.
Your blog is lots of fun… I clicked on it b/c of the lobster. I’m from Nova Scotia, where lobster is a way of life.
I LOVE your blog! I just found it through a link on another one. It’s so much fun!! I love writing as well! Adding you to google reader right now!
I just stumbled upon your blog due to the name, since I love lobster! I just posted a recipe on my blog for it, too! Do you still live around Pittsburgh? I am from Pittsburgh!
Hi! Just found your blog and saw you’re from a small town outside Pittsburgh. I went to IUP for undergrad! I have the darndest time explaining to everyone where it is
After all this blog reading and starting my own, oatmeal is changing my life as well
I love that you are a shortie like me. I can relate to your love of food…but the need to balance it out because of our stature! Love your food pics and can’t wait to read more!
I just found your blog…cute name…and I can’t wait to read more!
Love your blog – and the name is adorable!
Rose, I found your blog through your facebook posting.
I have to say I am sooo proud of you for keeping true to your passion for art and inspirational/intellectual creativity! KUDOS!
Your blog has honestly re-inspired me to attempt more “art projects”–one of these days my husband, Sean, and I hope to open an artistic restaurant (one that fuses theater and other art forms with a fine dining experience). Maybe I will get the chance to speak more with you as we work towards our dream. Until then, keep up your blogging, good luck with school, and again–thank you for proving that we can keep our passions and art alive even in the “real world”!!
Hugz.
