About Michelle

Hi, I'm Michelle. I am a Chicago native and now a Scottsdale, Arizona transplant. With a new place to call home and discover, I am ready for new experiences and to have a lot of fun. 

My husband and I are newly empty nesters with two dogs. Though I am cooking for two these days, I still make dinner every night. I am a culinary school dreamer, even at my age, and I think about food 24/7. No matter how old you are or what your skill level is in the kitchen, I want to inspire you, to make you feel comfortable, and for you to find joy in cooking and entertaining.

The food on my table can be simple or complicated. It can be easy to prepare or take many steps. I like to explore techniques and challenge myself in the kitchen. I am spontaneous in the kitchen, not much of planner, and I love to go to the grocery store. Yep, you read that right. I hope you join me on my cooking journey and make some new discoveries yourself.
