www.carmelacoyle.com Carmela lives out west in Colorado with her husband, Mike, their two college-age children, and her lovable, cuddly, precocious pup that gangly answers to the name of lulu. Organic cooking/baking from scratch is one of her loves, "It's not THAT hard when you love the view out your kitchen window," she contends. The goods, of which she admits she has no control over, are brownies (with fudge frosting, thank you very much,) deep dark chocolate ice cream, drinking chocolate, and chocolate chip cookies... you get the picture. Although Carmela has a degree in Elementary Education with minor in Fine Art, she gives credit to early walks at dawn, avid observation, and motherhood as to where she got her "real" education.
