Home-cooked family meals – there’s nothing quite like them. Yet we all know what a struggle it can be to get dinner on the table each night. Maybe you have a sick family member, maybe a new baby, maybe an insanely busy week or month or season of life – these are the times we need the comfort of gathering around the table for a meal. I’m here to help!

 

You can make sharing a meal together as a family a reality, but I will do the work. Some families could use this every week, some could use it during a time of transition or difficulty – whatever your circumstance, I’m here for it.

 

My husband and I have five children, and from the very start of our marriage, we have always made it a priority to eat dinner together as a family. I am not a professional chef, but have learned this craft through life, a life of preparing and serving many meals to my own family, friends, and community.

 

The decade I spent working as a school counselor allowed me to care for many students and families, and in this work of cooking and providing meals for others, I get to continue the work of caring for others. Food is a necessity for life, yes, but it also feeds the soul. Food nurtures and comforts, food connects us, food brings beauty and joy into our lives. Food, for me, is a way to love.

 

My experience comes from this love – this love of cooking and love of enjoying good food. Let me share this gift of good food with you and your family.
