About me
Hey y'all! I'm Hannah Taylor, some of you may know me as "LilyLouTay" and I'm so dang glad you're here. I live in a little lake house in Georgia with my three wild and wonderful kiddos, three rowdy puppies, seven nosy cats, a humbling number of chickens, and my one and only: James Taylor (yes, that James Taylor but no, not that James Taylor).
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.
What started as a few videos of me cooking for my family turned into a full blown adventure: I'm now the proud author of a Southern cookbook (coming October 2025!), and the voice behind my Substack, For the Honeys, where I share stories, recipes, and reflections straight from the heart.
Whether you're here for a laugh, a biscuit recipe, or a little reminder to savor the moment, you're in the right place. So go ahead: grab your flour, crank up the LilyLouTay Kitchen Playlist on Spotify, and blow me a flour kiss.
