About Me

Hi, I’m Ashton! Food has always been at the center of my life, from watching my parents cook to exploring new flavors on my travels. My love for nutrition grew even stronger after facing a cancer diagnosis, which deepened my appreciation for the power of healthy eating. I believe food should nourish both the body and soul, and I’m passionate about sharing recipes that are as delicious as they are nutritious.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Sciences from Oklahoma State University, I’m on a journey to becoming a Registered Dietitian. Here on Fork and Corks, I blend my love for cooking with evidence-based nutrition, offering tips, recipes, and insights that make healthy eating exciting and approachable. Whether you’re looking to elevate simple ingredients or explore new dishes, I hope to inspire you to enjoy food in a way that fuels your best life.
