Welcome – I’m Myra

I’m Myra L. Dennis, founder of SnazzyFood, chef, and lead recipe developer based in Nashville, Tennessee.
With over 15 years of professional culinary experience, my work blends traditional Southern cooking with modern wellness-focused adaptations. My goal has always been simple: create food that feels comforting, balanced, and achievable in real kitchens.
Where It All Began
I grew up in a small Tennessee town where Sunday dinners were more than meals — they were rituals. My grandmother taught me how to make flaky biscuits from scratch, slow-cooked collard greens, and barbecue that filled the entire house with warmth.
That kitchen shaped my philosophy:
Food is care. Food is memory. Food is connection.
Professional Journey
After high school, I trained in diners and family-owned restaurants across Tennessee, mastering the foundations of Southern cuisine. Wanting to deepen my culinary knowledge, I traveled across the United States exploring regional American flavors — from New England seafood traditions to Tex-Mex spice profiles and California’s farm-to-table sourcing practices.
I later opened my restaurant, Southern Roots, in Nashville, where I developed signature dishes that honored tradition while introducing modern refinement. Being named “Best Southern Chef” at a local food festival remains one of the proudest milestones of my career.

My Role at SnazzyFood
At SnazzyFood, I:
- Develop and test all core recipes
- Oversee ingredient standards
- Focus on mineral-conscious and balanced meal creation
- Write and approve primary recipe drafts
- Maintain culinary accuracy and flavor integrity
Every recipe begins in my kitchen before it reaches yours.
Why I Created SnazzyFood
In 2025, I launched SnazzyFood to create a structured space for people overwhelmed by extreme diet trends. I wanted to provide:
- Mineral-rich, whole-food recipes
- Balanced weight-conscious meals
- Reliable gluten-free baking
- Quick healthy options for busy lives
SnazzyFood is my way of bringing restaurant-level care into everyday homes.
