About the Author of Baby Bites

Nonna* Joann Bruso began her writing career over thirty years ago with a monthly nutrition column. After the demands of raising children lessened, she worked full-time editing the Colorado Christian News. It seems fitting that Nonna Joann has returned to the topic of healthy eating. In addition to writing, Nonna Joann produces a twice-weekly podcast, “What’s Cookin’ with Nonna?” Where she serves up oodles of food fun and hot kitchen tips, with a generous helping of sizzling nutrition news. She frequently speaks to mom and parent groups.

Nonna Joann and her husband of over 40 years, Dick, make their home outside of Denver, Colorado. They have four grown daughters and seven grandchildren.

*Nonna is Italian for grandmother.
