Welcome sweet friends,

I'm so glad you're here.

This little corner of the internet has become so much more than a place to share recipes. It's where we gather around the table, swap stories, celebrate life's ordinary moments, and remember that some of the sweetest memories are made long before dinner is ever served.

Whether you've been here from the very beginning or you've just found your way to our family, I hope you'll feel right at home.

Over the past few years, this incredible community has allowed me to chase dreams I never thought possible. From becoming a New York Times bestselling cookbook author to sharing meals that have found their way into your homes, every step has been because of your kindness and support.

Thank you for being here, for cooking alongside me, cheering our family on, and allowing me to share my heart with yours.

With love and big hugs,

Sunflower Collection 

Inspired by the warmth of the home and the beauty of gathering around the table, my Sunflower Collection with Magenta was created to feel collected, cheerful, and a little nostalgic. With soft scalloped edges, creamy whites, and hand-painted blue sunflowers, these are pieces made for everyday meals, Sunday suppers, morning coffee, and all the beautiful moments in between.

About me

Hey Honey

If I'm not barefoot in the backyard or digging around in the garden, you'll find me dancing in the kitchen with flour on my face and music blaring. The kitchen is my happy place, my heart spot. I cook with feeling, not precision, measuring with my heart and a whole lotta butter.
