As a full time middle school English teacher and mama of one energetic tot, I jump at the opportunity for some mom time out. Each and every night I find solace in our cozy little kitchen where my stress melts away with each turn of the wooden spoon. The likelihood of cooking with no one (cough* cough* Stella) running through my legs is rare, but that doesn’t mean I can’t put on my apron and compile an array of random ingredients while backing up Ella Fitzgerald on Pandora, right? For me, there has always been something so comforting about creating a meal for my family. The stirring, the smelling, the savoring as I go…all of this is very cathartic for me. It is a ritual that I look forward to before we sit down and share our days with one another. Not only is cooking a way to get some precious me time, but also serves as an expression of love for my family.

Great picks, I love that apron. I definitely started enjoying cooking more once I had kids, it just felt so good to actually start and finish something!!

Love this! And sweet Amanda.
Your cooking tools are really unique and wonderful. Thank you for sharing ideas. Lots of love!
