ABOUT

I am a self-taught home cook, recipe developer, food photographer and founder of Penny’s Primal!

I started Penny’s Primal back in 2018 as a place to share my passion for cooking healthy and delicious Whole30 and Paleo friendly recipes that use whole foods and nothing processed. My heart is so full when I am cooking for my family and friends and I get to watch them around my table laughing, sharing stories and enjoying a delicious home cooked meal.

So where did it all begin? Well I have been cooking since I was a little girl. I was actually working in a dinette at the age of ten (owned by my parents best friends). By the time I was thirteen I was a short order cook and could handle a knife like a ninja! The passion is real!

I am married to my best friend, David, chief taste tester and runner to the store when I need that one missing ingredient stat! We are the proud parents of our beautiful boy Cooper, an Aussie Chocolate Lab mix that we rescued at 10 months old. He is my sous chef!

I went from being that girl who always hid in the shadows because I was ashamed of how I looked, to being featured in three magazines! The Woman’s World Special Whole30 issue, First Magazine for Woman where they made ME a cover girl and interviewed me for an article. Then a second article for Woman’s World Magazine where I was on the cover once again!

I cannot begin to tell you what it means to me that you stopped by and I am excited to hear all about you cooking and enjoying my recipes. Please leave me comments, ask me questions or just say hi, because I am so happy to have you here around my table!

xoxo, Penny
