Hi, I’m Mandy — mama of six, food industry veteran, and the heart behind Sugar & Spice Mama. With over 30 years of experience in kitchens ranging from fine dining to pizza parlors, I’ve learned that real food can be both simple and special. For the past three years, I’ve also been teaching 3rd grade while raising my own crew, juggling lesson plans, lunchboxes, and lots of love. I created Sugar & Spice Mama as a space for real moms—busy, stretched thin, and still showing up every day. Here you’ll find easy, family-approved meals, time-saving mom hacks, and seasonal fun that doesn’t add stress. This is where real life meets real food—and there’s always room at the table.
