    Gourmet Betty is a cooking enthusiast who loves to entertain, cook for her family and teach others to do the same.

    She's been there, done that -- What regular school didn't teach her, she learned from the "University of Hard Knocks."

    When she full time working mother, she used to pick up her small child from day care, drive home and get dinner on the table in about 30 minutes. In 1999, she became a full-time stay at home mom, managing the demands of 2 small children and a traveling husband.

    Tomato and Avocado CanapesOnce the kids were in school full-time, Betty started her culinary career and working as an independent marketing consultant. She's had to come up with ways to incorporate healthy, nutritious and delicious meals for her family that are quick and easy.

    All the recipes on this website are Betty's own 'family & friend' approved recipes. Plus recipes from trusted colleagues, such as Rita Heikenfeld.
