Romancing the ordinary each day with simple
food to fill our hearts and bellies.
Hi I'm Teresa!
My family and I would like to invite you into our kitchen to try a new recipe, learn a few tricks and most likely make a mess. My kids are often in the kitchen with me which often requires extra counter spray and Swiffer runs but the feelings I want them to remember are the laughs and joy we have doing it together.
​
I hope to encourage you to entertain in a way that involves your guests rather than putting a show on for them. The goal is for you to enjoy your own party and keep things real!
​
Along with cooking, kids and entertaining I'd like to bring you into our gardening adventures. We have a few small raised beds in the back yard but regardless of the size they bring lots of bounty and joy.
​
And last but not least, we will enjoy a few cocktail recipes. I love to cook with wine or a margarita on Taco Tuesday.
From the 1970's casserole to Thomas Keller's most fancy dish, I'm here for it all and thanks for joining.
Thanks for stopping by!
