She learned to cook from her parents, James Graham and Robin Graham, who prepared meals every day and involved her as soon as she was tall enough to see over the stove.One of the first things she remembers learning to make was biscuits, mixed in a wooden “biscuit bowl” her family always used. As an adult, she realized the measurements never seemed right when she tried making biscuits in a different bowl.Griffis has been married to her husband, Addison Griffis, for 15 years. She owns Hardy Fitness &amp; Health, a ladies studio gym located on Deemer Road, also known as County Road 505.Her husband’s favorite meal is her sun-dried tomato basil pesto pasta, often paired with grilled chicken, which she also considers one of her best dishes.Recently, Griffis has developed a strong interest in sourdough bread. She bakes bread weekly and no longer buys it from the store. Over the past month, she has also begun taking small public orders for the holidays.After being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, Griffis began paying closer attention to her diet and trying to limit ingredients that cause inflammation, including dairy.“I really try to focus on roasted veggies and grilled meat,” she said.For Christmas brunch at her grandmother’s house over the weekend, Griffis prepared a cinnamon roll focaccia, along with turkey sausage and her holiday pinwheels, a recipe she adjusted by using goat cheese instead of cream cheese. “Everybody loves it, and they don’t even know it has goat cheese in it,” she said.Griffis enjoys exercise and has even participated in bodybuilding competitions over the years, but the kitchen, she says, is her favorite place to recharge.ROASTED SWEET POTATO ROUNDS4 slices center cut bacon, cooked &amp; diced4 Tbsp. olive oil2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into roundsSalt &amp; pepper2 avocados2 Tbsp. lime juice½ tsp. smoked paprika1 Tbsp. dry cilantroPreheat oven to 425° and line a baking sheet with foil.
