Hello there!
My name is Grace and I am so happy that you've stumbled upon my little food blog, Fruitful.
I am a proofreader and writer by trade but when I'm not correcting grammar I love to cook, eat, explore new foods, ready mystery novels and travel. I am married to Jason, a fabulous illustrator, designer and risotto-maker, and we currently live in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
In my free time, I'm also a social media manager for Firefall International.
My favorite food is mashed potatoes.
I have a crazy sweet tooth...you'll find me posting a lot of amazing desserts on here.
I have been to 12 countries (the last one being Burma) and one of the highlights of my life was studying abroad for a semester at Oxford University in England.
I have the most wonderful family and talk on the phone with each member at least once a week.
I recently got most of my hair chopped off and love it!
Enough about me, here's some info about Fruitful:
How Fruitful began:
I began food blogging in October 2011 out of a desire to have a creative outlet for my writing and cooking. I grew up in a family that loves food and cooking and usually plans any get-together trip around food. I was hooked on the Food Network at a young age (watching Mario Batali and Iron Chef) and I have always had a fascination for the way food brings people together and makes people feel so loved and whole. Although this blog isn't meant for just fruit, the name comes from a desire and hope for the blog inspire you to make your life more full and fruitful.
What will you find on Fruitful:
I hope you will find simple recipes and food ideas to make it easier for you and your family to have quality time at the breakfast, lunch or dinner table together. I also hope that you will be challenged to try some new things, new restaurants and take a few culinary adventures with me on the way.
How can you get in touch with me:
