Hi! I'm Heather Lynne and I love to cook, bake, and read. During the day I'm a special education teacher in an elementary school working with students who have disabilities as well as at risk regular education students. I love working with my students but sometimes my job can get stressful. That's why when I get home I turn into Home Chef Hezzi-D.I currently live with my wonderful husband Frank in Western Maryland. I am originally from Pittsburgh and the difference between the “big city” and life in a rural area has been a big change for me.

Since I was a young child I’ve always had a strong love of reading. I enjoy reading paranormal books, suspense, thrillers, funny memoirs, and young adult and would be happy to review these genre of books from both new and seasoned authors.
I love to bake and often take ingredients I use frequently and create new recipes with them. Some of my most recent creations are Spiced Carrot Kale Muffins, Turtle Cookie Cups, and Herb and Parmesan Roasted Vegetable Pasta.
Winning Recipes:
I recently won two different contests hosted by Giant Eagle Market District.
At the Burger Cookoff 2012 I won first prize in the vegetarian category with my Black Bean Burger.
I then won the Chili Cookoff 2012 with my Chipotle Beef Chili.
Most recently I won Rodelle's Valentine's Day Cupcake Contest 2013 with my Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes.
