Over a seven-year period, she held classes featuring Catholic speakers from various regions of the world, including Cambodia. They brought in traditional recipes and spoke about the faith in their country of origin. Those classes inspired the cookbook she wrote called Cooking with the Saints by Sophia Institute Press. She initiated the farmers' market on the grounds of St. Veronica and started an organic garden on the church property to feed the hungry through Catholic Charities. She also started an annual farm dinner, hosting parishioners and a Catholic speaker about food and farming. She has written about food for the National Catholic Register and is now a regular blogger writing about the connection between food and faith.
