Well hi there.

My name is Leslie Green, affectionately know as The Hungry Housewife.

I am a 35 year old wife and mother of two wonderful children.

I grew up in the small town of Vero Beach Florida ,where My mother managed a very well known restaurant. I spent many hours in the restaurant before I got my first job there at the age of 15. Our lives revolved around food. Whether being at the restaurant or being at home watching my mother read over her extensive collection of cookbooks, food was a huge part of my life.

As a young adult, I did not do much cooking. However, after getting married and having children, my hidden love for food was revived. I started my own cookbook collection and began exploring my family’s wants and desires in the kitchen.

Since starting my blog in April 2008 my blog has grown by leaps and bounds without much social media push.

Since starting my blog The Hungry Housewife, I have appeared on the Nationally syndicated morning show “Daytime” seven times, creating kid friendly holiday treats.
I am also a food contributor for Creative Loafing (an online and print magazine). I was featured in the St. Pete Times In January 2009 in an article titled “Nine To Watch In 09”. I provided food for a VIP Super Bowl Party for the Professional Sports Wives Association and the Professional Athletes Council. I was hired by the USA Poultry & Egg Export Council to do a cooking demonstration at the 2011 Commodity Classic in-front of an audience of a several hundred people. Sweetbay Supermarket hired me to do weekly on-line videos revolving around their weekly deals and also develop recipes for their popular $10 meal series. I have represented Nordic Ware as their on-air sales personality on The Home Shopping Network. In April 2012, I was hired by the Florida Beef Council for recipe development and to do on air appearances and live cooking demonstrations.

I appeared in online Videos for Frito-Lay.
I have proudly worked with over 20 National brands.
Lastly, a major Food Network Production Company, Follow Productions(Gordon Elliott), filmed a pilot for the food network, staring me, the Hungry Housewife! It can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cPuBT1HZHc

As you can see many wonderful things have happened to me since April 08. All I was trying to do was figure out how to manage my hectic everyday schedule, get a healthy fast and affordable meal on the table for my family all while building memories in the kitchen with my children. I suppose the old saying is true….”Do what you love and good things will happen.”
