Today, I celebrate the woman who gave me my love for the kitchen—and unknowingly inspired my baking journey too.
Growing up, the oven stayed cold. My mom had one baking attempt that didn’t quite go as planned… and we all lovingly made fun of it! Maybe lovingly isn't a suitable word...
She never tried again after that, but it planted a tiny seed in me. One day, I decided to switch the oven back on—this time with joy, curiosity, and love in every bake.
While I may not have inherited my baking skills from her, I definitely inherited something far greater:
a deep love for preparing food that brings people together 🍲
a passion for feeding others and watching them smile after every bite 🍞
and a heart that believes food is meant to create plateful memories, not just meals ❤️
That’s the spirit behind IV BAKES—a space where flavor, family, and laughter come together.
Because of her, I learned that the kitchen isn’t about perfection.
It’s indeed about love.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mama.
Thank you for everything you shared—recipes, stories and of course your passion!
