My love for cooking started young! My grandma was always serving up cajun deliciousness, personally baking the family's cakes and breakfasts, and showing me the ropes as a small child. (... While, of course, letting me snack the entire time we cooked!)

My skill for cooking, however, developed somewhat out of necessity. Growing up, my parents worked long hours, so I was often the one putting dinner on the table.

Then, when I moved out on my own, cooking became my way of connecting with people. Instead of grabbing fast food, I loved inviting friends over and experimenting in the kitchen. Sharing a meal which I made from scratch always felt special — and that passion grew into this blog. I love seeing faces light up when they try my creations!
