Amy Matuza, better known as “Ame” to those close to her, is a wife and mother to three amazing humans – Zoe, Zack and Aria. She wrote Food for Thought: Twenty-Minute Life Recipes from Mom as a sneaky way to continue imparting motherly advice to her adult children after they left home by disguising it in a “cookbook”. Each chapter focuses on an important tenet or principle and shares positive life “nuggets of wisdom” through the art of storytelling. The recipes shared in this unique self-help memoir were served around Amy’s own dining table.

Upon graduating from Miami University of Ohio with degrees in Piano Performance and English Literature, Amy obtained her law degree at The Ohio State University. She spent almost fifteen years in business consulting before “retiring” to spend more time at home with her family, write a book and become a professional musician. Amy currently lives in Andover, Massachusetts and enjoys doing anything active outside including boating, skiing, hiking, biking, walking with friends, and going to the beach.
