creating memorable experiences
Welcome to Unleash Your Inner Foodie!
Hi! I’m DeeAnn McArdle, founder of Unleash Your Inner Foodie. [more]
After spending 20 years in the corporate world I came to the realization that my inner foodie was trapped in my corporate body! I found myself dreaming of recipes and entertaining ideas instead of focusing on my work projects. I was the one sharing and asking my coworkers what they cooked over the weekend. I wanted to know how they used great food and great entertaining to create memorable experiences for their family and friends. You might say, I became obsessed… although I prefer to think of it as my passion! [more]
Anyway, I decided it was time to share these great ideas with other foodies and “foodie wanna-be’s” who may be looking for a little more inspiration, and discovery into the foodie lifestyle. [more]
I hope you’ll join me on my blog where together we’ll discover ways to create memorable experiences for your family and friends.
Stay tuned and I look forward to talking with you soon! [more]
