Thanks so much for visiting my humble little blog! I’m Emily Ingle Kealey, and I’ve loved cooking for as long as I can remember. I started this blog way back in 2007, when I was constantly flipping through magazines, watching cooking shows and scouring websites for recipes to test at home — because at the time, I truly didn’t think I could create a recipe on my own.

But over the years, I’ve learned so much through the process that I now feel confident writing my own recipes — and I’ve even written recipes professionally for clients. It’s been such a rewarding journey, and I hope this space inspires anyone who loves food but doesn’t feel like a trained chef. If I can do it, you absolutely can too.

While food is at the heart of this blog, I also write about the other things I love: flowers, wine, entertaining, and finding beauty in the everyday — without making it feel fussy or overdone.

By day, I work in the world of Consumer Packaged Goods consulting, alongside the absolutely wonderful team at The CPG Co-Op. I get to support passionate founders and brands as they grow — and I bring that same spirit of creativity, care, and collaboration into everything I share here.

I’m so glad you’re here — thanks for stopping by!
