As a child, Lisa was a reluctant reader. It was not until her mother let her bake a cake from a cake mix, that she was inspired to improve her reading skills. 

 

Her first cake was a disaster, but the experience opened up a new world for her. This inspired her to become an avid reader, which led to her to a life long love of cooking and reading. Since then, she has baked many cakes and read many books.

 

She got her undergraduate degree from Texas Tech University and masters degree from Texas A&M, Commerce, both in education with reading specialties. She taught school from Headstart to 6th grade for many years, in two countries and three states.

 

Now she has combined her two passions of cooking and teaching kids into some fun and educational classes.
