MaryeAudet

I am an author, culinary journalist, and freelance writer restoring a historic home just outside of Dallas, Tx. I homeschool the 6 kids at home (I have 8 all together) and am a proponent of self-sufficient, local, sustainable living and we raise heritage breed chickens on our small acreage. We used to have goats and sheep as well but had to give them up for a time. I write on all kinds of subjects from how to make your own chocolate croissants to how to refinish 100 year old heart pine floors. My real love is food and recipes. I authored a cookbook, published by Adams Media in 2009, and I hope to write a few more. I especially love breads, pastries, and desserts and I share my recipes often on restlesschipotle.com. I also encourage my readers to move away from additives and convenience foods, and learn to eat fresh and local. In my spare time (ha!) I enjoy spinning fiber & painting
