Hi!

I am a mother of 2 small babes who motivate me to continue turning my passion into business. I am a lover of all things food & hospitality. I work as a private chef here in Nashville, TN & do private catering for various events from corporate gigs to studio sessions. My favorite part about cooking is the element of gathering people from all walks of life together with one thing in common. Enjoying a meal together. I grew up with a family that taught me through the generations that food is love. I hope that here you find some joy, some memories & some long lasting recipes to fill your home (& bellies)!

White Cheddar Mac N Cheese 

1 lb pasta (I used farfelle) 

1 stick salted butter 

1/2 cup flour

4 cups milk

4 cups shredded cheese (2 cups unexpected cheddar & 2 cups extras sharp Cabot cheddar)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Dash of nutmeg to your preference 

Preheat your oven to 425. Boil your pasta super al dente & set aside while you make the sauce. In a sauce pan melt butter & whisk in flour. Cook until a light brown color then add your milk. Whisk well and bring to a boil until mixture thickens. Add in your cheese and lower heat, stirring to melt cheese. Season with garlic powder, salt, pepper & nutmeg. Place your noodles into a casserole dish & pour sauce over (you may have some extra sauce) until noodles are very creamy. Top with extra shredded cheese and bake for 20 minutes. Broil at the end for a crispy cheese top.
