Her first print book, The Seasoned Mom Cookbook: Easy Recipes from a Virginia Farmhouse Kitchen, is releasing September 9, 2025, and offers over 100 family-friendly, reader favorite dishes perfect for getting delicious, stress-free meals on the table fast.

Blair is a wife and a mom to three teenage boys, a sister, and a proud aunt to 8 nieces and nephews. A former Division I college soccer player and avid horseback rider, she now enjoys watching her sons play soccer and golf, Pilates classes, long walks with friends, and curling up with a good book, a blanket, and her Yorkshire terrier, Teddy.

Best piece of cooking advice: "It comes from my mom (of course!). She's rarely one to follow a recipe, and instead cooks "by taste." When developing recipes for my website, or even just when I'm cooking for family and friends at home, I always taste what I'm cooking and season as I go. Don't wait until the end when the meal is finished before deciding whether or not it needs a little "something more." Adjust as you cook, and it will be perfect in the end!"
