Experience

Julie has been a writer and editor for more than 25 years. Since 2016, her writing has focused on original recipes, the tools used to make them and the stories around them. As a writer for Taste of Home, Julie has covered the ins and outs of pickling, shared comfort food recipes and written about a lot of pie. She is the author of "The Complete Guide to Pickling," and writes the weekly "Twice as Tasty" food column for the Flathead Beacon, named after her food blog. Her writing and photos regularly appear on The Spruce Eats, The Kitchn, The Old Farmer’s Almanac and more. Julie lives in northwest Montana, where she and her husband fill every spare inch of their 500-square-foot cabin with homegrown and home-preserved food.
