Christine grew up in the Atlanta area where she returned after college and met her husband of 5 years in one of the last standing dive bars from what most of us remember as 'old Buckhead'. After six years in consulting, she pursued her dream to go culinary school in NY and then Italy where she gained the experience necessary to start a boutique catering company, Squash Blossom Kitchens, with a good childhood friend. When she's not catering during the week, she enjoys staying home part-time with her son, Nolan, and her rescue pit mix, Vita. She loves long walks on the belt line, yoga, and Campari cocktails and looks forward to sharing her stories and advice on living in town with a little one.

Halloween Open House Party
