TaylorHi!

Allow me to introduce myself – I’m Taylor, I like animals and long walks on the beach….oh wait, wrong profile. Hehe. I LOVE to cook, bake, and entertain for friends and family for two reasons: 1) I LOOOOOOVE food!! 2) I am a people-pleaser. I get my joy and warm, fuzzy feelings by making others feel loved and taken care of. What better way to do that than with a delicious, home-cooked meal?! Besides cooking, I do have a few other life loves: my husband (Mike), our son (“G”), our cat, quality time with friends and family, traveling, reading, cheese, dark chocolate, and wine.

My inspiration

I am by no means a professional chef, but I’ve enjoyed many years of watching my dad and two grandmas work their magic in the kitchen. Watching my dad gave me an appreciation of the fine art of technique. He’s the guy who makes his own gluten-free cornbread for cornbread stuffing to accommodate his guests at Thanksgiving. His mom, “Gramma Ta”, passed on her love of baking; next to my memories of baking side by side with her in a flour-dusted apron, her trusty flour sifter and worn recipe box are two of my most prized kitchen accessories. Finally, it was my other grandma who showed me that recipes are merely a suggestion. I remember the first time I asked her for her chili recipe. Her response? “Sure, write this down,” proceeded by a series of “sometimes I do this…”, “but if I don’t have that on hand then…”, and “you could try this…” She may not rely on recipes, but I can always rely on her to serve up nothing but warmth, comfort, and a good dose of humor (usually the dirty kind!)

My path

Sometime in college, I caught the kitchen fever and managed to feed myself through a few less creative detours involving accounting, auditing, data analytics and benchmarking, and project management. I also picked up an MBA with a focus on Entrepreneurship – my first steps toward making a different kind of dough in the kitchen. 😉

My title changed once again a few years ago, this time to what I like to call “Household Manager.” Much of my time is now spent nurturing my greatest creation of all, my son [insert sappy awwww here]. Thankfully, with encouragement from my amazing husband and efficient use of G’s school days, here we are: my attempt at turning my passion into something bigger.

So please visit, cook, eat, and enjoy.

Delicious wishes!

~ Taylor

🌟 I believe there’s good in everyone, even if an ugly heart prevents them from sharing it with the world (in which case, karma will handle it 😉)!

What’s next? Stay tuned! But in the meantime…

Good morning, Woodland! I have 10 bottles of my *d Good morning, Woodland! I have 10 bottles of my *delicious* elderberry syrup ready to boost your immunity just in time for Christmas! Loved by adults AND kids over 1yo, a dose of elderberry syrup is a great way to start your day.

**Comment below to order. First come, first served. Must be able to collect by Tuesday.**😁🌿

Syrup comes in 16oz jars. Price is $22 OR you can trade in a 16oz glass jar/bottle (with lid) for $2 off, bringing your price down to $20. If you’ve bought from me before, 

Ingredients include:
Wildcrafted elderberries, organic cinnamon stick, whole star anise, orange juice, organic whole cloves, fresh ginger, organic rose hips, organic echinacea, and local raw honey.

The addition of ginger, rose hips, and echinacea help with prevention and lung support. Local raw honey offers relief from local allergens.😊

We planted our first real garden this year and our We planted our first real garden this year and our parsley EXPLODED!! 🌿💥 So I gave some to my folks, froze the stems for future use, and blitzed a full cup into a tasty lemon-pepper parsley pesto (inspired by @freshfoodbites) to marinate and serve with grilled pork tenderloin. Tonight’s side: decadent, yet low carb cauliflower mac & cheese (inspired by @ketofocus). 🥘
