What’s Cooking in the Kitchen of April Bryson?


of her favorite dishes to make. Enjoy! Cheesy Fettuccini


As a busy wife and mother of


three, April Bryson of Weaverville is very thankful that her family is easy to please at mealtimes. “I am re- ally glad that my husband and kids are not picky eaters,” she explained. “We have several recipes that I make once or twice each month. We love chicken dishes, vegetables, salads and anything with cheese. We all like to try new things too so that makes cooking easier as well.” Bryson has many sweet memories


in the kitchen when she was young, mostly spent with her mother (Jan Sorrells of Hendersonville) and her two sisters. “It was always so much fun when my mom would let all three of us help her cook.” Once Bryson was married, her mother-in- law, Lynn Bryson (also of Hender- sonville), introduced her to lots of new foods and flavors. “Most days, I really enjoy cooking. I definitely love baking the most, especially around the holidays. My kids like to help me bake too; for them, the messier the kitchen is, the better!” Te Bryson family moved to


Weaverville this past fall. Original- ly from Mills River, April is a 1993 graduate of West Henderson High School. She played volleyball for Appalachian State University and graduated in 1997 with her bach- elor’s degree in health promotions. She continued her education at East Tennessee State University, earning her master’s degree in Public Health Administration a year later. For the next five years, Bryson was the nurs- ing home administrator at Carolina Village Medical Center. Once she began her family, she left her career in order to be at home with her chil- dren. Bryson is currently a second


grade teacher’s assistant at North Buncombe Elementary School. Her husband Joe is a history and civics teacher at North Buncombe High School, where he also serves as the junior varsity basketball coach. He has been a teacher and coach for the past decade. Tey are the proud parents of three children: Ben (8), Jake (7) and Emma (4). Teir fam- ily currently attends North Asheville Baptist Church.
