ABOUT ME

Hi! So nice of you to join me.  I'll tell you a bit about myself.  I grew up on Long Island in an Italian American family.  My mom cooked for my family every night growing up, as her mom did, and so on, and so the tradition lives on with me.  While I learned how to cook from my mother and grandmother, I continue to learn every day from people, places, and recipes. 

​

I currently live in New Canaan, CT raising two boys with my husband.  I used to work on wall street and have been both a stay at home mom and working mom.  I get what it's like to have crazy schedules, crazy kids, and a hectic life! 

​

I originally started this blog to give friends and family easy recipes to throw on the table and it has evolved into a bit more than that for me.  As a millennial mom, I think the need for families and friends to sit around a kitchen table and really talk to one another is crucial now more than ever. 

So, in addition to my recipes, I have a small substack/podcast digging into things affecting families today.  

​

Thanks for joining me on this journey!
