And dailykitchenflavor is my little corner of the internet!
I'm the voice, author, and creator behind dailykitchenflavor. What started in the summer of 2016 while I was still working full‑time as a graphic designer in a downtown studio turned into a nightly habit of scribbling recipes on napkins. I launched the first version of the blog in March 2017, just a simple WordPress site where I posted the pasta sauce my mom taught me to make. Within a year I was swapping my design briefs for grocery lists, and the kitchen became my office.
Fast forward to today, dailykitchenflavor reaches about 45,000 unique visitors each month and the newsletter—started in 2022—now lands in the inboxes of 12,300 food lovers. In 2023 I compiled my favorite quick‑weeknight meals into the e‑book 30 Weeknight Dinners, which has sold over 4,800 copies. The blog was honored with the “Best Food Blog” award at the 2024 Local Foodie Awards, and I’ve been invited to demo recipes on three local radio stations. I still post three new recipes a week, and I love hearing the comments from readers who say a dish reminded them of home.
I call Asheville, North Carolina home, where I share a modest house with my husband, Mark, and two rescue dogs, Luna and Milo. When I’m not whisking butter into a sauce, you’ll find me hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains, sipping a cold brew on my porch, or kneading sourdough dough on a rainy Sunday. My favorite kitchen tools are a cast‑iron skillet, a good chef’s knife, and a vintage timer my grandma gave me. One quirky habit? I keep a tiny jar of pink Himalayan salt on the counter because I swear it makes every dish taste a little brighter. Thanks for stopping by—let’s keep cooking together!
