Texas cooking with a New Mexico kick!
At the barn with Gino – Fall 2015
Eat with Gigi got its inspiration when family and friends would get together and swap their wonderful recipes. Remembering that over the years traditional family recipes sometimes go missing, I started putting together all our favorite dishes. As it turns out, other people wanted to have our recipes, too! Some recipes are passed down through generations, some are new creations we have experienced and enjoyed.
Our company, Get A Grip!
Me with my two sons,
Ryan and Austen – Fall 2017
I’m originally from Texas and worked with high-end fashion companies for many years. But when I visited New Mexico, I fell in love with its beauty and charm… and its green chile! Taking a giant leap of faith in my mid-forties, I decided to move to the southwest and start my own company out of the garage. Get A Grip is now a family-owned, nationwide franchise.

Riding in the Cibola National Forest with my husband Cub and
brother-in-law Harold – Fall 2005
Around the same time I started cooking, I learned to horseback ride. Both have kept me grounded more than anything.
Another one of my passions is writing; I love to write as much as I love to cook! Sharon Just Sayin’ centers around a column I write for the Apartment Association of New Mexico’s magazine, New Mexico Apartment News. The column covers my reflections on life, business, communication, and other issues. No nonsense…just sayin’.
At the barn with Reno – Fall 2007
I’ve lived two different lives. I went from wearing CHANEL to riding horses in the mountains. It’s been a wild ride and I’m not afraid to experience or try new things. It’s who I am, whether in the kitchen or in my cowboy boots and jeans.
