Behind the recipes
Hi, I’m Roxanna
I am a mother, writer, sourdough baker as well as a woman with an affinity for old world cooking and living. I spend my days on a small homestead in California capturing life with my daughter. From my small country kitchen I create simple recipes to share and teach all I have learned about creating a home environment where one can thrive. Homemaking is a deep passion of mine and one that I love to encourage and inspire others in their journey to pursue. If you too have a love for home, a simple life, and the desire to elevate the ordinary through food and the creation of beauty, you are in good company!
