My love for food began with the pure joy I experienced while watching my grandmother cook delicious dishes for our family and friends. Here are some of her staple recipes, menus I’ve created myself experimenting in my kitchen and some tips for “doctoring up” everyday recipes with a gourmet twist.

My Favorite Kitchen Stuff
Milo Classic Dutch Oven. This baby comes in a sleek black as well as white. I have both colors and use them almost daily. Perfect for soups, deep dish recipes, frying and pretty much anything else!
Classic Black Flatware. There’s something so chic about black metal flatware. It dresses up even the most basic meal —and compliments white plates beautifully.
KitchenAid Stand Mixer. I’m not sure how I lived life before this tall, dark and handsome Artisan model mixer came into my life. I use it for everything - from mixing cakes, cookies and pastries — to grinding chicken for recipes.
Courtly Check ANYTHING. There’s really nothing more for me to say about Mackenzie Childs Courtly Check pattern. I’ve been collecting these pieces for nearly 15 years and these are not only functional and quality kitchenware, the courtly check pattern is timeless and spruces up the look of my kitchen.
