Tearsa Nelson Daines is the oldest daughter of nine children. She learned her culinary skills from her mother who taught her to cook at a very young age. Because of her large family, Tearsa has cooked for many life celebrations that include food. She loves the creative process of cooking and how food is a natural way to bond as a family. She likes to cook for her husband, Brent, alongside her five daughters and two sons, who keep her current with new recipes and food blogs. When not cooking, Tearsa likes to read, travel, plant flowers, go on walks, and waterski, and most of all, spend time with her husband, seven children, three sons-in-law, five grandchildren, extended family, and friends.
