About • Deep Fried Kudzu

Hi! I’m Ginger. There’s a little bit about me on the front page of Deep Fried Kudzu, but in case you wanted to know more…here we go!

Other than a couple of elementary-school years that I lived in Texas, I grew up in Cullman, Alabama. When I was little I did pageants, and when I got bigger it was all twirling. I graduated college with a BBA (Business Administration) and a BS (Liberal Arts).

It was time, so I moved into a tee-tiny apartment (imagine 450 square feet and all of it is Pier 1, which at the time I thought was the summit of good taste) and got my first ‘real job’.

I went into the Purchasing field — used my business degree because I loved having my own office — and went from Expediter to Buyer, and then l moved to another company where I went from Senior Buyer to Chief Procurement Officer. Just like everything, it was a lot of luck and a lot of hard work.

*Loved* it. After having two babies 15 months apart, I decided to do something else professionally. I had always enjoyed playing around with graphic design so I learned to do that. Creativity and being around creative people makes me super happy.

I love teaming up with others to do good things so I try to stay active volunteering, and family with my two teenage boys is the most treasured, important thing in my life.

Well! That’s my little story. We go somewhere almost every weekend. We cook, we eat, we make things, we enjoy art, we enjoy people.

When the day is over and everyone’s in bed, I put together Deep Fried Kudzu. I hope you enjoy it too.

xoxo,
Ginger
