What’s cooking in an empty nest?

Once you become an empty nester, cooking feels different. (If I’m not worrying about what other people want…what do I even want to eat?! And, how do I make small portions?)

I rediscovered the joy of cooking for myself and husband, and I’m here to share that experience with you. We’re building connection through cooking, and having a lot of fun in the process.
