Food is forgiving…don’t overthink it. Shaylea Morgan wants everyone to give cooking a try because you can always fix it. This aspiring entrepreneur found us and then we found her! Shaylea teaches our kids classes and it is a match made in the kitchen. For years, we had requests for kids classes and, as you can imagine, those are not our strong suit. As luck would have it, we placed an ad looking for a kids teacher. Shaylea had actually been stalking us, applied for the job and the rest, as they say, is history. Like so many things in her life, Shaylea took the ball and ran with it. As a result, the kids program has taken off. Shaylea has always been fascinated with food. It is her creative outlet and it is where she feels most at home. Her first forays into the kitchen were bold but not entirely successful (she had a bit of a run-in with paella) but they led her to culinary school and she has made up for it ten-fold. Her parents were happy they supported her in her culinary journey especially after she prepared a fine dining experience for them. It more than made up for the busted paella! She is also creating foodies at home as her children (ages 8 and 10) are adventurous eaters. They are also her kindest critics. But before I tell her whole story, let’s get to the episode. Here are some highlights to listen for: 04:02 - She’s a stalker 05:08 - An interesting guilty pleasure 07:57 - Game night parties with food themes 09:11 - A paella food story 14:54 - Her goal and aspirations 16:29 - Food is not hard

We hope you enjoyed this interview with Shaylea Morgan. I think you can tell that we did as we giggled our way through the episode. If you have kids at home who are interested in cooking, have them give one of her classes a try. It’s a pretty sure bet they’ll be hooked and they might even cook for you! Our final guest this season is another person we work with. Our favorite Somm, Joe Breaux. There are not enough words to describe how much fun we had during this interview. It is one for the books! He’s got some great stories to tell so don’t miss it.And, what about you? Do you have a food story? We'd love to hear it. Share it in the comments below and more likely than not, you'll hear it in one of our episodes.And, in case you haven't heard, the kitchen and our hands-on classes are back up and running. We are wearing masks and now Tulsa has a mask mandate as well as WalMart, Sam’s Club and Target. I mean, you wear a seat belt and a helmet when you ride your bicycle or motorcycle, what's the difference? Other than, when you wear a mask you protect other people. It's the kind thing to do; we hope you think so, too. Pretty sure, the vaccine won't be available for a long time.If you have a minute, please take a look at our Patreon page and consider becoming a member.
