About Me

My name is Megan and I've been a T-7 complete since November of 2007. I pride myself on having a great outlook on life and love meeting new people and spreading sci awareness. I joined this site to share my passion for cooking. I was a chef before my accident, so when I was confined to a wheelchair, I could no longer work in the fast paced, small kitchen environment I was in before. That's when I decided I would combine my love for cooking with my love for helping others. I created a website in which I call myself "The Paraplegic Chef". I cooked fancy meals at the restaurant I was working at before, but the whole concept of "The Paraplegic Chef" is to motivate and inspire people who want to cook, but sometimes feel like they don't know how or where to start - especially in a wheelchair. My recipes are not geared towards anyone in particular. They are there for anyone who wants a nice easy recipe to try out. Most of my recipes are from my Mom's family cookbook, and some things are recipes I've found somewhere, or thought of myself. I would love for you to take the time to check it out, and if you know someone who might be interested, share it with them too! Thanks so much for reading, and I look forward to meeting you!
