For as long as I can remember, gathering around a table with family and friends has been a staple in my life. As a child, I would watch my dad tell hunting and fishing stories at our dining table with his dearest friends. I still remember Sunday afternoons at my grandparents’ house, eating MawMaw’s pot roast and listening to all the stories of the week. I even reminisce when, as a teenager, I served my parents the best chicken fried rice this side of the Mississippi (or so I thought). The women in my life have taught me to love serving others, while my husband has helped me to realize the passion I have for cooking. As we watch our older daughters grow and build their lives, we also appreciate the time we have together with our youngest, our little chef. Our first meals together as a family (all five of us) have served as launching pads for creation in the kitchen. These are those long-term memories I cherish. As a new grandmother of sweet little twin boys, I simply cannot wait to teach them to love food, cooking, and serving others. 

Spending time in the kitchen, cooking for my family, for my friends, and for new friends is truly a blessing. The greatest times with friends and family are spent when food is involved.

Anniversary dinners, birthdays, family reunions, baby and wedding showers, or even just a fun evening with friends… let me join with you and make those events spectacular!

I look forward to serving you. I look forward to bringing a smile to your face and a spark in your soul. I truly look forward to our Thyme To Gather.
