Biography

[edit]

Harris was born in Montgomery, Alabama to Wayne Pilgreen, a Vietnam veteran and Alabama Power Company linesman, and Paula Johnson, who worked for the United States Postal Service.[3] She grew up in Montgomery, Alabama and attended Jefferson Davis High School.

She graduated from Auburn University at Montgomery, where she majored in Psychology. She continued her education into the study of law and attended Jones Law School at Faulkner University in Montgomery, Alabama, and received her degree in 1994.

After passing the Alabama State Bar exam, both she and her husband relocated to Birmingham, Alabama. During this transitional period, she began cultivating her interest in sustainable living.[8] As time passed and her family grew, she continued to refine and expand her expertise in the culinary arts.[9]

Media

Stacy Lyn has authored two award-winning cookbooks: Happy Health Family Tracking the Outdoors In[10] and Stacy Lyn's Harvest Cookbook,[11] both of which reached #1 on Amazon's list of Best New Releases. In 2013, Stacy authored Recipes and Tips for Sustainable Living[12] and in 2018, Preserving 101: Canning, Freezing & Drying.[4] Her writing can be found in many nationwide magazines and publications, such as Southern Living,[5] Backwoodsman Magazine,[13] Art of Manliness,[14] Grit magazine,[15] and The New Pioneer[16] magazine, and others.

Harris was the first woman to appear on the cover of Backwoodsmen Magazine[17] and also appeared on the Spring 2019 cover of The New Pioneer Magazine,[18] sharing her perspective on modern country living. In 2018, she wrote a feature article in Where Women Cook magazine,[19] where she talked about the experiences that led her to adopting a sustainable lifestyle while growing up in the deep South. This was followed up by another article in the 2020 issue of Covey Rise, an upscale Southern lifestyle magazine. Harris shared her venison recipes, and in a brief interview recounted her various influences in the areas of design and style.[20] Harris's recipes have been featured in many other outlets, most recently in Entertain and Celebrate.[21][22]
