Cooking through my grandmother’s handwritten recipes and cookbooks :)
Tater Tot Casserole
What is everyone’s definition of comfort food? Actually let me rephrase that: what constitutes something as comfort food?

Auntie Agnes’s Famous Doughnuts

To some girls nothing says fall like a pumpkin spice latte, to me nothing says fall like my freezer packed to the brim with my husband’s most recent deer! Growing up I did not…
Pistachio Bundt Cake
So this is post #1 for me. I know what you are thinking: Liv why in the world would you choose pistachio bundt cake as your first recipe?! I wanted to start with something I would never think to make. This whole journey for me is supposed to be about growth and getting to know…
