Hey there! My name is Carla, and I am so glad you stopped in! I want to share a little bit about myself.  I have been married to my husband, Rick, for 30 years. I married my best friend. We have two kids and four grand pups.

I’m a nurse, and I love my job! It has been such a blessing to be able to help people improve their lives through nursing care. From newborns to seniors, each patient is so special in their own way. I strive to provide the best care possible for everyone who comes.

I am a mom to two amazing kids. I have a son and a daughter who are grown. My son has a Masters’s in Theology and works for Liberty University. My son has 2 dogs Arthur and Morgan who are spoiled grand pups.  My daughter is married to a great guy Bradley who is a chef. They have 2 pups, Molly and Andy. Molly is a little Instagram Star. Nicole has started her very own cooking site Garlic Wars.

I had a passion to help others, so I went to school to become a nurse. I worked in hospitals and doctor’s offices. I worked with many amazing doctors and nurses.  I was a nurse for over 20 years, and I loved doing it. I decided to take a step back from nursing to focus more on my passion for cooking.  I wanted to use my knowledge and experience in nursing to help others through cooking. So, I started a blog called “Adventures of a Nurse.” Here, I share my recipes. My goal is to show people how easy it can be to make meals and snacks that are also delicious!

My Blogging Journey 

I love cooking and sharing what I make with you. I have a love for trying new gadgets like my Instant Pot, Sous Vide, and Air Fryer. If you love fresh and flavorful recipes, you came to the right place. I started using the Instant pot in 2016 and had a lot of questions so I started writing all my directions and recipes on Adventures of a Nurse.

I always strive to share tried and true recipes, that will set you up for success in the kitchen. I always use easy-to-find ingredients. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook. You can always find something delicious here on Adventures of a Nurse. 

I want to make sure that when you are finished cooking, you feel proud of the meal you have created. That is why I offer helpful tips and tricks in each post so that your meals turn out delicious every time. From suggestions on substitutions to help with troubleshooting, I am here to make sure you have the best experience possible.

When I am Not Working

I love to sew and use my embroidery machine to make special gifts for the ones I love.

You can usually find me sitting outdoors soaking up the sunshine and watching my dogs run and play. I have four amazing and adorable dogs. Daisy, Pap, Pumpkin, and Jamie. They are like children to me. 

I also love to read and watch Netflix. I love Outlander and have become slightly obsessed.
