Hi, I’m Lauri!

And yes, I will absolutely start dancing in the middle of making dinner. No music required.

I’m a Jersey Shore girl at heart — I love a good sunrise, a kitchen full of laughter, and any excuse to gather people around the table. I’ve been a spin instructor, a mom in the trenches, and somewhere along the way I fell hard for Pampered Chef — because it combined everything I love: good food, good tools, and good company.

My People

I’m married to Kev the Man — a tiedye-wearing, Grateful Dead-loving, total original who absolutely ruined me for regular music. Together we’ve raised three amazing daughters, and I’m now the proudest grandma to (almost!) 6 grandkids, which means my house is permanently stocked with snacks, chaos, and way too much laughter. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Why I do This

Here’s the thing — I kept meeting women in their 3rd quarter of life who had just… stopped cooking. It felt like too much work. Too many steps. Not worth the mess.

And I get it. But I also think that’s a shame, because cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be incredible. It just needs the right tools, a few good recipes, and maybe a lemon drop martini waiting at the finish line.

So that’s what I’m here for. I’m a Pampered Chef consultant, but really I’m just someone who wants to help you make easier, faster, more delicious meals — and have a ridiculous amount of fun doing it.
