What can we find you doing when you're not whipping up a dish for Men Who Cook?
When I’m not whipping up a dish for Men Who Cook, I’m probably out on the golf course with my husband or spending time with friends and family. I also love trying new restaurants around the area and visiting wineries whenever I get the chance.
Why is it important to you to give back (to the SECU Family House)?
Giving back to the SECU Family House is especially meaningful to me because my mom and grandmother stayed in a place similar to it while my grandpa was very sick. During one of the hardest times for our family, they had a safe and comforting place to rest and recharge, and I will always be thankful for that.
I’ve also had the opportunity to volunteer at the SECU Family House, and seeing firsthand the support and comfort it provides to families going through difficult situations made the mission even more important to me. Knowing that families can have a place that feels welcoming and supportive during such stressful times is so important, and I’m grateful to be able to give back in any way I can.
What was the first thing you remember cooking?
The first thing I remember cooking was Christmas cookies with my grandma. I didn’t know it then, but the kitchen would become one of my favorite places. Some of my best memories were made baking alongside her, especially during the holidays.
I’ve learned a lot from my grandma over the years, but one of the most important things she taught me was the importance of cooking for the people you love. Food has a way of bringing people together, and those moments in the kitchen are something I’ll always carry with me.
Name a fun fact people may not know about you.
My husband and I are both named Taylor, which definitely keeps life interesting, especially when someone calls our name and we both respond.
