BROCCOLI CAULIFLOWER GRATIN I'm a feeder. It's in my blood. I can't help but make my guests overly full plates of supper and then after they politely decline dessert because they're too full, I bring them a large slice of lemon meringue pie, lol.

White Mac N Cheese

Hey y'all! I am Alyssa. I have been cooking since I was old enough to hold a whisk. I come from a long line of southern women who believe food can really bring a family together. When I grew up there was one thing that remained constant amidst the chaos of coming from a big family, no matter what we all sat down at the table together and had a family supper. I remember having to step on an overturned stockpot as a stool in my Nan's kitchen as a child so that I could reach over the counter when we were making cookie dough from scratch. I remember asking my mother to type up recipes so that I could host baby showers and dinner parties when I moved out on my own. So many of my fondest memories have taken place in the kitchen. I have an arsenal of recipes I have collected over the years, many come from recipe cards that were written by hands of my loved ones passed. Some of my food has an ethnic feel, some is sweet, some is simple, some is elaborate... but every recipe I post has a story and every one can certainly bring a group together. Whether you are looking to freshen up your stale routine, impress a crowd, or find a quick and easy recipe for family supper, I've got you covered. I am looking forward to opening up my vault of tried and true recipes and helping make some magic in every kitchen.
