Hi! So great to have you here… writing this feels like writing a “why me” for a college essay or a job application, except way more relaxed.

My name is Danielle – I’m a 22 year old living in Chicago, IL with a passion for food, happiness, and health! My journey to get here is pretty standard – I started my food page with a passion for cooking, and it has since blossomed into much more!

I’m putting together this blog as a way to expand my horizons and bring together my love of cooking with my love of writing. I was a journalism major in college, and when I graduated in 2021, I knew I wanted a creative outlet along with my corporate job.

Here you will find weekly recipes, personal essays, and so much more!
