Nice to meet you, I'm Dani, Founder of DaniMade Kitchen. As a former competitive tennis player, what I put into my body always mattered. If I ate like crap, I felt like crap, then I played like crap! Too much? It's honest though, how you fuel your body dictates what comes next. The better you feel, the better you perform. Why should your lifestyle be any different? I continue to practice a sustainable balance of exercise and healthy eating while also making room for indulgence. I want everyone to have the opportunity of understanding how to turn health into a lifestyle. No diets, no secrets. I believe home cooking is a fundamental foundation to building a healthier lifestyle. 

I’d like for you to catch sight of an idea you can learn from me and make it your own. DaniMade Kitchen isn't here to tell you what to do. I am here to guide you as you create what you want to do. My recipes aren't a secret formula of rules, they are guidelines. That's what I like about cooking, you can do whatever you want and like. I am passionate about helping my readers gain confidence in the kitchen to cook recipes without feeling intimidated. Be patient, give it some time and play, soon it becomes natural and easy. If a recipe calls for an ingredient you don't like, don't use it. Play and have fun, not as much can go wrong as you think. Make it your own, then you can add your name in the blank, "____" made. 

I spent 11 years as an elementary educator and I’m always searching for ways to transfer my educational background knowledge and skills to others as I teach them about cooking. Additionally, I love to inspire children on how to find excitement through creative, healthy recipes that helps them develop a strong relationship with food and health. Between the time I spend as a personal chef to professional athletes, I dedicate many hours working on building my DaniMade brand by creating valuable content I can share with my community and audience through my food blog, social media, and events. I take pride in all the cherished memories I have from growing up in a big, Italian family who always brought us all together with food. Food is love, and bringing people together through food is my way of spreading the love…as thick as Nutella. Be creative, be honest, be nice.
