Because everyday should be celebrated!
Midlife crisis + Global pandemic = New adventure!
You have just stumbled upon the sassiest hub of personal growth, culinary coping mechanisms, and wine-fueled revelry this side of the internet! This is where we flick away the nonsense and get straight to the good stuff. Because no matter how bad it gets, there will be good stuff! I promise!
So, darling, grab a seat, pour yourself a glass (or three) of your favorite vino, and let’s dive headfirst into a universe where we strive to live every single day the most fabulous way possible. Where we believe in embracing our flaws, flipping the bird to perfectionism, and pursuing personal growth on our own terms, all with a healthy dose of attitude.
Whether you’re here to conquer your demons, heal old wounds, whip up a culinary masterpiece without feeling judged as hell, or simply learn how to adult without losing your sanity (or your sense of humor), you’ve come to the right place. You don’t need an invitation to join our sassy squad. You’re here, ya made it! Here you are enough, where inappropriate is the new black, snark is our love language, and fabulousness reigns supreme.
Food, wine and silly.
Yes, silly.
The sillier the better.
Inappropriate or snarky? Fabulous, welcome! Pull up a chair!
I cook real food with real ingredients and make no apologies for it.
Butter, meat, carbs, oh yes! We drink great wine because we like it, we eat and share food that is delicious because it’s fun and good for the
soul!
Let's get excited about food, wine and life!
