This year, Holley has a host of exciting
projects in the works including
increased speaking engagements, media
spokesperson commitments, and more
exciting recipe development, as well as a
special feature in the 11th season of
Martha Bakes on PBS Food. The season
launched in January 2019 and Holley’s
episode is slated to run this month
March 2019).

“We filmed back in September
2018 and it was so much fun working
with Martha and her staff to plan the
episode. The segment focuses on
‘pantry milks,’ specifically evaporated
milk, sweetened condensed milk
(Martha’s guilty pleasure), nonfat dried
milk, and shelf stable milk. She and
I take a look at the history of these
pantry milks, their unique properties
and nutrition, and, of course, how to use
them when baking.”
And with this, it’s no surprise, her
advice to a young dietitian just starting
out is simply, “don’t be afraid to step out
of your comfort zone and try something
new.” Finding something that excites
you even if it goes against the norm,
and knowing that although there are
boundaries within the profession, “the
sky really is the limit, as food is and
always will be, EVERYWHERE!”
With such a big year in store, Holley
laughs at the anxiety she felt when faced
with her greatest challenge many years
ago – walking away from her full-time
job with Time Inc., where she loved
being the Food and Nutrition Editor
of MyRecipes.com and CookingLight.
com. Yet today as her own entrepreneur,
Holley relishes in the chaos and demands
of having no two days (or clients) alike.
“I love being kept on my toes trying to
keep up with trends and finding new,
clever ways to deliver important and
relevant information to my audiences,”
says Holley.
