My Recipes

Welcome to my kitchen—where faith, family, and good food meet.

I’m a Christian author, wife of 41 years, mom, and grandmother. Cooking has always been part of how I love and gather people—around the table, around the Word, and around real life with Jesus.

Here you’ll find simple, nourishing recipes from our family table. I’ll be adding two new recipes each week, Lord willing.

Pull up a chair and enjoy.
