Originally published in Franklin Lifestyle

Kirbee Miller, a Michigan native, came to middle Tennessee to attend Lipscomb University and chose to stay to pursue her impressive career in informatics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Needing a creative outlet, KiNiMi Kitchen came to fruition. Through food, Kirbee helps people “connect the dots.” She focuses on nurturing her clients (and everyone!) with food, generating good conversation and allowing everyone to be seen and heard which permits people to let their guard down.

A sought-after lifestyle contributor with her YouTube channel, she creates culinary experiences for private and corporate events. She’ll connect online, host a Pop Up or host a show and teach a class. Her love of community that she creates with food is her passion and she’ll happily share it. Her “one essential rule, have fun.”

She also has her own artisan popcorn line KiNiMi Pop that were in the VIP bags at the Grammys. We are lucky to have her share a recipe with us and cannot wait to see what she does next.  Instagram: @kinimikitchen
