Welcome to my kitchen

I’ve always enjoyed searching for recipes and planning meals but the concept of actually cooking intimidated me. I started small, mostly crockpot meals (living with my in-laws limited my confidence to explore anything more complex). Once we got our own house, I wanted to jump in with both feet! Not every meal was a hit, but having a husband who worked until 10pm every night made meal planning more difficult. Fast forward a few years to us expecting our first child, him having better work hours, and me becoming more aware of what I was putting in my body. I started small, using better ingredients in recipes I was already comfortable with. Once our daughter was here, I decided to make all of her purées. That turned into our baby led weaning stage which shined a light into what we were eating and if we didn’t want the baby eating that, we wouldn’t either. Thus began my journey into making a lot of items from scratch, creating my sourdough starter and an obsession with baking bread before it became the thing everyone learned to do during lockdown. 

Food is my love language and feeding people brings be so much joy. I hope this blog becomes something I can share with my daughters, a time capsule of sorts, of their mothers journey to fill their hearts and tummies.
