About Maddie

Hi, I’m Maddie! I am a full time teacher and recipe developer. This blog has become my new creative outlet to escape the hustle and bustle of the real world.

Cooking is my escape. It allows me to slow down when I feel like I can’t, grounds me when life feels messy, and helps me to connect with loved ones, when I feel relationships are distant. After work you will find me recipe testing with my partner Coy, scribbling ideas in my notebook, or working on new posts to share with you all.

I have always had trouble slowing down…

It wasn’t until my second year teaching that I realized I had completely let myself get swallowed in the pit of the education system. Where it is completely normalized to work late into the evening, go to work early, and spend weekends creating engaging lessons.

I decided to find something that would help me put two feet back on the ground, and cooking became that outlet. When life feels messy and overwhelming, cooking helps to slow me down and be intentional with my time and what I am doing. My hope with this blog is that you are able to find recipes that help ground you too, and make life feel a little less stressful like they have for me.

I don’t believe that food is just fuel. Cooking is an experience to be shared with others.
