Johanna Elsemore

Johanna daylights as a Hill staffer, but spends most of her free time cooking, eating and writing about food. She lives on Capitol Hill with her husband and the two beautiful pit bulls they adopted from the Washington Humane Society. Beyond food and pit bulls, her passions include writing, traveling, fitness, advocacy and telling folks way more about herself than they ever wanted to know. She shares her adventures in these pursuits as well as other random and entertaining anecdotes on her blog Notes From a Messy Kitchen.
