    More About the Blog

    How did you come up with the name?

    My husband and I came up with the name A Table Full of Joy because we loved the idea of having the kitchen table be where everyone comes together- whether it's to play games or eat lots of food!

    What recipe do you recommend for someone new to cooking?

    I am so happy you are here and want to try cooking! I definitely recommend starting out with something delicious and easy like these chicken parm sliders! For something on the sweeter side try any number of my easy cookie recipes! chicken parm sliders on plate

    What recipe do you recommend for someone looking for a challenge?

    Maybe! I'm always open to suggestions! Shoot me an email!

    What Brands have you worked with?

    I've been able to work with brands likes Sam's Club, Conagra Brans, and Karo since starting my blog!

    Are you inspired by New Mexican culture?

    Absolutely! Green Chile is New Mexico's state vegetable and we eat it on everything here!

    Every Fall people roast 20lb bags at the local grocery stores and the air smells delicious!

    Green Chile Cheeseburgers and Green Chile Stew are our favorites, but you will find it commonly in breakfast burritos, in green chile chicken enchiladas, on pizza and even in easy to bake breads and on desserts!Green Chile, How to roast and prepare delicious green chile for stews, burgers, pizza and more! #atablefullofjoy #greenchile #newmexico #nmtrue #stew #fall #delish #hatch

    Blast from the past!

    When I was working as a geologist, my then boyfriend (now husband) helped me make this cake! Which then became the inspiration for my favorite Buttermilk Chocolate Cake recipe ever!

    Practice makes perfect and I sure have come a long way in learning how to decorate and make easy cake recipes since then!
