Hey beautiful! 💛 It’s Freebie Friday and I brought something special just for you.
Motherhood, grief, healing, or just trying to keep your peace in a loud world — I see you. I created a simple resource for those 5-minute windows when you just need to breathe and come back to yourself.
📣 It’s Here: Tastes Like Sunday Has Officially Launched! 🍽✨
After months of love, healing, and soul-stirring storytelling — I’m proud to finally share my digital cookbook Tastes Like Sunday with you!
This isn’t just a collection of recipes. It’s a tribute to tradition, to grief transformed, to food that hugs you back. From smothered turkey wings to peach cobbler dump cake, every page is filled with flavor, comfort, and the stories that shaped me.
🫶🏾 Whether you’re cooking for healing, community, or just a good Sunday supper — you’ll find something inside this book that tastes like home.
✨ Bonus: Tag .ia or use when you cook one of the recipes—I’d love to repost and celebrate with you around the table.
Let’s eat, heal, and remember:
This is what Sunday feels like.

Originally a Chicago native, I currently live with my family in Des Moines, IA. I love Jesus, my family and friends. I’ve been married for 6 years to my wonderful husband, Nigel. We have five beautiful children, 3 adorable god-children, and a rascally fur baby named Paisley.
I consider myself to be a modern day Renaissance Woman. When I’m not blogging you can probably find me with my face glued to the computer on Ancestry.com or playing Sims, whipping up a new recipe, crafting with the kiddo’s, or snuggled next to my hubby binge watching Netflix and Hulu.
I love sharing stories about my many life experiences, motherhood, and our family.
We live a family-oriented, faith-filled, and joyful life even with all the craziness. I love being a wife and mommy, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world no matter how overwhelming it gets. I believe in “living the life you love, and loving the life you live”. I hope within these pages you find something worth holding on to. #Love
