“Sunday dinners are a must, whether we are eating out or are enjoying a meal at home,” shared Kalsey West. “Sundays are the day to go to church, relax, and eat a good meal with my loved ones.”
Kalsey has two children: Skye Mackenzie who is nine and MJ who is six. Skye is her social butterfly and enjoys arts, music, and gaming. MJ keeps everyone on their toes as a tackle football player, but is also full of compliments and will make anyone feel important.
As the Campus Director at East Coast Migrant Head Start Project, Kalsey has a fulfilling full-time career working with children and within her community. She works with various agencies around the area, in hopes of providing resources to underprivileged families.
“Unfortunately, we typically spend most of our days eating out, which I do not enjoy,” Kalsey said. “But with work, school, and extracurricular activities we spend most dinners picking up fast food. On the weekend, I have more time to cook and make meals and delicious snacks for my family.”
You can often find Kalsey and her kids in the kitchen together, whipping up some kind of dessert. They also enjoy taking family road trips, leisurely nature walks, and playing Head’s Up, a charades-style game.
“I decided to share my Honey Cajun Salmon because it is my family’s favorite thing I cook; it is the most requested meal,” Kalsey shared. “I honestly just wanted a sweet twist to the salmon and went on a whim and added honey. I have not had it any other way since. There is just something about the sweet and savory that compliments each other so well.”
