Winning America’s Test Kitchen: The Next Generation and releasing my cookbook, Mostly Homemade, were dreams come true. But what really gets me going is bringing a little vintage flair into everyday life — whether it’s reviving an old-school recipe, styling a killer tablescape, or turning homemaking into an art that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Here, I mix food history with creative twists, homemaking hacks with heart, and a dash of humor to keep it real. Life’s too short not to make it beautiful — and mostly homemade.
