    About Me

    Welcome! Hi! I’m Sherri. I’m the recipe creator, photographer, voice and taste tester behind To Simply Inspire.

    From the beginning:

    I’m Southern girl (from eastern NC) now living in the Northeast (NH) with my husband and 2 kids and my little Maltese/Yorkie (Morkie) fur baby, Teddy.  

    While I worked in finance early on, we moved to a new state for my husband’s career. I assumed my new role as a stay-at-home mom and my love of cooking easy recipes became a new favorite job!

    I especially love scouring my old family church cookbooks that I inherited from my grandmother and the comfort of tried and true classic family recipes to make. My analytical tendencies loves tweaking and making them my own. From lighter meals to indulgent, from comfort food to light options, I have a thing for them all!

    I grew up with a single mother so I have learned how to create meals on a budget with everyday ingredients.

    I started To Simply Inspire in 2009 to share my passion of cooking and as a way to keep all of my favorite recipes in one place for my friends and family.

    I am in awe of what it has evolved into today! It now has over a million readers a month, over 315,000 Facebook followers and over 80,000 Pinterest followers.

    I am honored to have been featured by: Woman’s Day, Parade Magazine, Delish, Southern Living, Prevention, Boston Magazine, Pure Wow, Forbes, Babble, Cafe Mom, and Reference.
