    Trained Foodie

    I'm Chuckie--food blogger, food photographer, teacher, farm-HER, and head cook at Laughing Rooster Eats!

    Education: Family & Consumer Sciences Teacher

    I've loved cooking for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories of cooking include stirring up all the condiments in the fridge and serving my dad on saltine crackers.

    The love of food propelled me to seek a degree in Family & Consumer Sciences at Pittsburg State University. With my Bachelors in FACS, known as Home Economics for some of you, I taught Junior and High School kids the basics of nutrition and cooking.

    I later got my Masters of Community Development to help me better build community in my communities locally and online.

    I currently work for a nutrition education program for people with low resources where we emphasize feeding your family healthy food on a budget.

    Cooking with Chuckie on the Morning Show

    Food has provided many opportunities in my life, including sharing my love of food and farming with my community through the magic of TV on the local Morning Show.

    Cooking on TV is like being a teacher but in a much larger classroom.

    If I can break down a recipe in just 3 to 5 minutes to share on air, I know it's the kind of recipe anyone can make and is perfect for Laughing Rooster Eats.

    Of course, some recipes are a bit more involved. But, I always focus on recipes worth making--Recipes that build your confidence in the kitchen and are so tasty that people ask YOU for the recipe.

    After all, is there any better compliment than someone asking for your recipe?

    Cooking is Art and Therapy

    Growing up, our kitchen was a magical place, filled with love and warmth where I marveled at my momma's ability to create culinary wonders with her instinctive touch, using old, worn-out bowls and mismatched cookware.

    Mom didn't care about having new kitchen stuff or a perfectly organized kitchen; she simply let her creativity flow.

    Today, the kitchen is where I let the worries and troubles from the day melt away in my own colorful and organized kitchen. I love the rhythm of the dance from the island to the sink to the stove and back.

    I've come to realize that cooking is my art, my craft. One that I hope to inspire you to recreate in your own space.

    On the Laughing Rooster Farm

    My family and I live on a small farm in Southeast Kansas where we enjoy raising much of our own food.

    At the Laughing Rooster Farm, if I’m not in the kitchen, you can find me in the garden, milking my sweet Jersey cow, Lady Mae, or raising beef, lamb, goat, and pork.


    Food is Connection

    So, welcome to Laughing Rooster Eats. I invite you to join me in the kitchen for a journey filled with bravery, fearlessness, and a dash of vulnerability.

    In a world that often judges and scrutinizes, I believe in setting aside those opinions and embracing our true selves: imperfections and all.

    Because being genuine is a rare and beautiful quality that resonates with people.

    So, let's savor every bite in our lives and celebrate the beauty of nourishing our bodies in our kitchens. Together, we'll create connections that go beyond the table.
