About Me

I’m a 27 year old nanny and I’m a full-time college student.  My real name is not Nutmeg nor is it Nanny. It is Brandy.

I love to cook and bake and I would love to have my own bakery but I would hate getting up early in the morning.  I grew up in Ohio but moved to New York when I was nineteen years old. Since then I have moved back and forth from NY to NJ but found living in NY was more my flavor. Currently I’m in upstate NY with my wonderful boyfriend.

We have two fantastic cats, Jolie and Nermal.  They behave most of the time but usually do something at least once a day that ends in me shaking my head and saying “guys can’t you just get along!”

I love going to live sporting events (hockey is the best!), theatre and concerts of any kind.

I’m using this blog to show people all the recipes I make and hopefully get people in the kitchen!

  • that’s hilarious… when i hear nutmeg nanny, i think it’s an OLD woman… but “brandy” definitely shouts out young & sassy to me!

  • Brandy,

    I just noticed that you’re from Ohio, me too! Whereabouts are you from? I grew up in Amherst but went to school in Athens (Ohio U.). We’re both Ohioans living in the big city! (I’m in Chicago now)…

    Best,
    Yvonne

  • Brandy,
    I miss you. When I cannot see you in class I come to your nutmeg nanny to get my fix. What am I to do when class ends :(

    Happy Birthday to Artie! I hope you got to do something fun together or at least made him one of your delicious meals.

    Hope all is well with you and class sucks without ya! Two more to go…

    Love,
    Carey

  • Nutmeg is the most wonderful spice. It should be used in more recipes. Thanks for creating such a wonderful blog!
