I’m Candace Hollas! Welcome to Our Zesty Life™. We love to travel, play and EAT!
I created Our Zesty Life™ because I love fantastic food. Since 2018, we have been publishing recipes that I really enjoy making and my family devours. You will find a combination of easy recipes, some more intricate and fun recipes, and overall delicious recipes!
I am a wife, mother of two, sister and daughter. Oh, and a professional accountant. Ever since I was a young girl, I have always loved to bake and cook. I loved cooking and baking with my mom and grandma, and now have fun with my daughter and son. They both love to help in the kitchen.
I love fantastic food, and prosecco is my go to! I am constantly trying new recipes, while fitting in my favorites along the way. We enjoy entertaining with a great mix of recipes, and our kids eat almost everything!
I have been a collector of recipes since I started cooking with my mother and grandmother over 50 years ago. Reading a cookbook or cooking magazine and planning meals has been one of my favorite pastimes. I have files of organized recipes, and I have more cookbooks than anyone I know! I have taken many cooking classes spread out over the years. Cooking and baking evolves and I am always learning too.
We love traveling and have been to some amazing places in this great world, both near and far. Traveling solo, as a couple and a family, we’ve seen some great sights along the way.
I’m a bit of a crafter, especially with my daughter, who is so creative and kind. Our house has had plenty of projects for us to work on too.
My handsome husband is amazing and supportive, and the best dad to our spunky daughter and rascally son!
Thank you for joining Our Zesty Life and I look forward to sharing with you!
