LaShawn Vasser was raised in a suburb outside of Chicago. She developed a love of books and a passion for writing at a young age. She's a dedicated wife and mother of three. She loves trying new recipes and cooking for big family dinners with her sisters. Those dinners always tend to be crazy and loud!

In her spare time, LaShawn enjoys kicking back with a couple of friends, a glass of wine, and having a good old fashioned gab fest. Some of her juiciest ideas have come from these times. LaShawn's motto: good food, good family, and good friends. That's the recipe for a good life.
