I’m a self teaching home cook and aspiring foodie entrepreneur. I enjoy coming up with creative ways to prepare flavorful food such as snacks, desserts and everything in between. Cooking is a way for me to challenge myself and satisfy curiosities about different ingredients.
The hope is to produce something thoughtful, memorable or every once in a while maybe even wonderful. I enjoy following my “gut” and exploring new recipes that can be comforting, exciting and nourishing. Above all else, I enjoy exploring the emotions surrounding food and writing about those experiences. 😝👩🍳👩💻

There are too many […]

My earliest memories of enjoying food were on Sunday afternoons at my grandparent’s home. The whole family would come together every week to share a meal prepared solely by my grandmother. Cooking was her love language. She made delicious, down home dishes and was always the last one to fix […]
