Melissa Erdelac
Melissa lives in Indiana with her husband and four children. Daily you’ll find Melissa working out at the local YMCA, creating a calorie deficit so she can have dessert. Possibly, it might also have something to do with the free childcare. Melissa wishes she could spend more time in the car to feed her NPR obsession, but unfortunately the YMCA and grocery store are only 2 miles away. When she’s not dreaming up recipes or desserts to eat, she’s glamming up the family camper. You can visit Melissa on her blog: MamaGourmand
Shannon Johanson
I am an Arizona transplant who traded the rain for a life in the sun. My daughter is like having 5 kids in one so my me time is found outside running or in the kitchen cooking and creating recipes families will love. I graduated with a Degree in Biology and went on to get my post-baccalaureate degree in dental hygiene. I feel the way to make people smile and come together is through good food, so I try to create meals that will not only be easy to make but delicious to eat. My philosophy is, when all else fails, have a dream. So that is what I try to do, dream, create, and bring my recipes to life from my kitchen to yours.
