"I’m a 32-year-old Philadelphia-based creator, born and raised in the Philly suburbs. I graduated from West Chester University with a background in education, and shortly after, I started PHLfoodstagram just for fun—which has since grown into something closer to a full-time gig!"

What’s your favorite Danucera product, and how does it fit into your lifestyle?

"For me, a meaningful holiday gathering is all about being surrounded by family, enjoying quality time together, and sharing delicious homemade food."
