About me

I had the good fortune of growing up in a home with a wonderful mom who was an awesome cook. She was the kind of cook that never measured anything and never worked from a recipe. It was completely intuitive for her. How I wished I spent more time writing down the recipes so we would have a roadmap back to those wonderful dinners and memories. We lost my mom over 10 years ago to cancer but I feel most connected to her when I spend time in the kitchen.

I not only had the good fortune of growing up in a house with a great cook, but I also had my aunt who could bake some of the most tasty deserts around. She lived around the corner and was such a generous and patient teacher. I am grateful for their inspiration.

My intention for this blog is to share some of my recipes, as well as learn some new recipes. And maybe at some point my kids will end up here when they want to try making some of my recipes. Hopefully it will bring back fond memories for them.
