About Marye Audet-White

Contact Marye at: marye@restlesschipotle.com

Restless Chipotle is part of Restless Chipotle Media, LLC located just south of Dallas, Texas.

In the South, a meal is never just a meal. It's an expression of love, a symbol of community, and an invitation to sit down and stay awhile. 🍍🍍

Southern hospitality isn't just about politeness; it's woven into the very fabric of our way of life, where every dish tells a story of generosity and warmth.

By sharing my recipes, I aim to bring a piece of that tradition into your kitchens. Whether it's through a hearty pot of gumbo that simmers with the promise of shared stories or a batch of buttermilk biscuits ready to be passed around the table, each recipe is crafted with the hope of not just feeding bodies but also nourishing souls.

Here, we don't just share recipes; we share a piece of our heritage, creating new memories and honoring old ones. So, pull up a chair, grab a plate, and let's keep the spirit of Southern hospitality alive, one meal at a time

My core beliefs

Whether you come here to the blog, to the Facebook page, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, or catch me in a coffee shop you'll find me, the real me, and just as ornery and awkward as ever.

Genuine Connection

“Every reader, every recipe, every interaction matters.” Treating everyone like they’re the star of the show? Yes, please. We're all about creating those inclusive “come on in, grab a plate” vibes.

Encouragement & Joy

We're not just serving food; We’re serving feel-good moments to family and friends. Whether it’s a nostalgic memory tied to a recipe or the warm glow of someone feeling seen, Restless Chipotle aims to be a little lighthouse of positivity in the sometimes stormy seas of life.

Memorable Simplicity

It’s not about complicated, fussy recipes; it’s about making epic things accessible to everyone. Easy, fun, and oh-so-memorable—because food is love, and love shouldn’t require a PhD in soufflé.

Hey Y'all! I'm Marye

I'm the mom of 8 kids and I've cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner 365 days a year for decades.

I live with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 grown kids, and a very patient husband in a 115-year-old house (which may or may not be slightly haunted).

I totally understand the exhausted, guilty mom feels that can be overwhelming.

I've cooked dinner while holding teething babies, while helping kids with math, and while feeling so stressed from the weight of life that I didn't think I could continue another minute.

I cooked as a newly single mom (who hadn't been employed in 30 years) trying not to panic at my lack of income.

But I still wanted those legendary family dinners, that connection around the table, that feeling of adulting like a champ.

And I did it... and you can, too.

Nothing fazes me & together we're going to get the kind of meals on your table that you (and your family) have been dreaming of.

About Picklefork

Picklefork is a made-up town where the bouffants are high, the grudges run deep, and the Jell-O salad never sets quite right. It’s filled with entirely original characters based on some of my best childhood memories. Names changed of course. Bless their hearts. If you’ve ever been side-eyed at a potluck or judged silently at a church bake sale, you’ll feel right at home.

You'll find Picklefork stories at the end of the audios on the blog posts. Not all of them... yet. Just know that Picklefork is part and parcel of Restless Chipotle Media, LLC, all rights reserved. Please don't copy.

YouTube channel

Plus there's a great YouTube channel for those of you that would rather watch than read.

Cookbooks

You'll find a variety of my digital cookbooks and printables in my Restless Chipotle Etsy shop. These are digital downloads - and you can be making one of the recipes within minutes!

I get it. I've been there. I see you. These recipes are for you. You've got this.

My credentials

I've worked for a lot of clients over the years, covering a variety of subjects from homesteading and homeschooling, to travel and decor. My magazine clients include: Houston Family Magazine, Haute Living, Texas Living, and Dallas Child.

Not only do I own an extensive collection of vintage cookbooks (1885 through 1990) but I've written over 10 cookbooks myself - one even made the NY Times Bestseller List.

I've loved to cook practically forever and have developed recipes for companies that you know, trust, and love. Companies like Imperial Sugar, Tillamook, and CK Mondavi & Family Wines.

Our Team

Restless Chipotle has grown so much since 2006!

Not only has it undergone a name change (anyone remember Baking Delights?) but over a million readers every month peruse the recipes here. Oh yeah, I still write a bunch of the posts, I still photograph a bunch of them, too!

I have a team that helps make sure that the recipes work, the images are gorgeous, and every possible question you could have is answered.

None of this would be possible without them. It leaves me time to develop the recipes that you love here on Restless Chipotle.
