About Pinch Me, I’m Eating


Are you someone who thinks food and cooking is part of the spice of life, enjoys eating well, and loves to “travel” from the comfort your own home through cuisine? Do you need simple, easy recipes for dinner during the week but still enjoy spending a little more time in the kitchen when you can? 

You’ll feel right at home here!

I’m a self-taught home cook with an affinity for the gourmet, and I believe that food is one of life’s greatest little pleasures. It’s an opportunity for indulgence, a source of comfort, and a way to connect with the people in my life. 

At Pinch Me, I’m Eating, you’ll find no shortage of easy weeknight meals, with the occasional “project” recipe for when you don’t mind lingering in the kitchen or waiting for bread to rise overnight. 

I also share finger foods (fancy wine and cheese nights and afternoon tea are my favorites!) and from-scratch staples to stock your fridge and pantry.

My recipes are inspired by memorable dishes I’ve had at restaurants (I love going out to eat!), places I’ve lived and visited, and the traditional cuisine of Charleston, South Carolina, where I live. So among other things, you’ll find plenty of Lowcountry classics like mustard-based Carolina Gold barbecue saucebenne wafers, and pimento cheese!

About me


Hi, I’m Caroline! I’m a self-taught home cook with an affinity for the gourmet, and I believe that food is one of life’s greatest little pleasures. It’s an opportunity for indulgence, a source of comfort, and a way to connect with the people in my life. 

My recipes are inspired by memorable dishes I’ve had at restaurants (I love going out to eat!), places I’ve lived and visited, and the traditional cuisine of Charleston, South Carolina, my hometown and where I currently live.

In 2022 I began working towards a lifelong dream of attending culinary school and am a current student at the Culinary Institute of Charleston! I am also certified in food safety as a ServSafe manager.

When I’m not cooking or eating, you might find me walking around downtown Charleston, listening to my talented husband play classical guitar, hanging out with our two kids and two cats, saving home decor ideas on Pinterest, and watching my Reeves turtle try to bite my finger through the aquarium glass — but I’m probably still thinking about food.
