About Me

Hi! I’m Brandy! I’m the new owner of Savory Simple but don’t worry – this blog is still going to be up and running! Jen put a lot of love into this blog and I have zero plans of letting that fade away.

If you’re wondering who I am let me introduce myself!

My name is Brandy O’Neill and I not only now own Savory Simple but I’m also the owner of the very popular blog Nutmeg Nanny.

Here are a few fun facts about me!

I was born and raised in Ohio, lived in New York for almost 20 years, and now reside in North Carolina with my husband and our 3 cats.
Before I was a full time blogger/recipe developer/food photograher I was a nanny.
I love cats, plantings, traveling, hiking, Coke Zero, air conditioning, and trashy reality TV.
My favorite movie is Dirty Dancing, my favorite food is fresh baked bread with salted butter, and my favorite airline is Delta. Yes, I have a favorite airline.
