Hi, I’m Gina.
Wife, mom, grandma, Independent Pampered Chef Director, and a firm believer that there’s always something new to learn.
My Story
I grew up eating dinner around the table every night. Not fancy, not optional, and it shaped me more than I realized.
Funny thing is, I didn’t start out as a great cook. Early in our marriage, my husband lovingly called my meat “shoe leather.” I got better by learning as I went. These days I’d rather bake, and if I hand you a cookie, it came straight from my heart.
A season I didn’t see coming
When our kids moved out and I left my job, I lost more community than I expected. Then the empty nest didn’t stay empty. Maybe you know that feeling: your season changes, and so do the people around your table.
I found my people again through church, volunteering, and the women I’ve met in Pampered Chef. Now I want to help you find yours.
Meet John
I married my high school sweetheart, John, more than 35 years ago (we met at McDonald’s). After his years in the Army, he became a culinary teacher, and he’s the real chef in our house. He even sold Pampered Chef before I did. Our early morning coffee together is still my favorite part of the day.
A few things about me
- My faith is my foundation.
- I’m 56, and I don’t think learning something new has an expiration date.
- My granddaughter keeps life interesting.
- Friday is pizza and movie night, and phones stay off the dinner table.
- I’d rather share real life than a perfect photo. I usually remember the picture after we’ve eaten.
Why Pampered Chef
What I love most is that it’s really about people. I get to help someone solve a problem in their kitchen, try a recipe they didn’t think they could make, or find the one tool that makes weeknight dinners easier. I’ll always recommend what fits how you actually cook, not just what’s popular.
It also gave me a community again. The women I’ve met through Pampered Chef have become real friends, and I get to do all of it from home, my favorite place to be.
