About Christianna

My goal is to make healthy eating for chronic kidney disease as simple as possible for you and your family. I’m a mom, too, so I understand the complexities of feeding a tiny human.

I’ve loved cooking and baking since childhood. I grew up in Guilford, CT on the apron strings of my grandmother Connie, the food service director at my high school. She taught me how to make people happy with food. 

Known for my practical, relatable and dynamic style, I am to make you feel comfortable and not judged –like you are dinner guest in my home.

I live with husband and son in Milford, CT, a picturesque coastal city 60 miles outside of New York City and even closer to New Haven, the home of the best pizza in country.
