It’s my goal to provide you with simple, traditional recipes that curb the hunger and bring a taste of history into your kitchen while including a little something for each person!
Understanding the history of food and traditional recipes is like holding a thread that connects us to generations past. For any homemaker, these time-honored dishes offer more than just nourishment — they carry stories, culture, and wisdom passed down through kitchens long before ours. Cooking from tradition helps us slow down, appreciate where our meals come from, and bring a deeper sense of meaning to our everyday routines. These recipes often use simple ingredients and techniques that make them both practical and comforting. Whether it’s an artisan loaf of sourdough or a cherished family stew, traditional cooking reminds us that home isn’t just a place — home is where simple meals can become the bridge between past and present, reminding us that we are part of a beautiful, ongoing story. By cooking with purpose, we’re not just feeding our families — we’re preserving a legacy.
Hi, I’m Courtney!
I’m both a biological and foster mom with a deep love for good food and the stories it tells. In my kitchen, I create simple, flavorful recipes that offer a little taste of history with every bite. But my passion doesn’t stop at the table — it starts in the soil. I’m on a mission to prove you don’t need acres of land to grow your own food. Right here in our suburban backyard, I’m cultivating a thriving food forest and breaking the myth that gardening is only for those with endless space.
