Hey there! I’m Jarita aka Aunt RiRi, the heart and soul behind this blog. I’ve been passionate about cooking and entertaining from a young age and I have my granny and mom to thank for that. Growing up, I spent countless hours in the kitchen with one or both of them, learning the art of creating delicious, comforting meals. Those memories are what inspired me to share my love for food with the world.
Food has always been a way to bring people together. Whether I’m hosting a cozy dinner party or cooking a simple meal for my husband, I believe that food should nourish both the body and the soul. My kitchen is where I feel most at home and it’s my space where creativity, flavor, and a little bit of love come together.
This blog is my way of sharing my journey in the kitchen and some fond memories along the way. I hope you’ll find inspiration here to bring some love and flavor into your own home!
I am blessed to have a wonderful husband. He understands my passion for cooking, and although he doesn’t have a broad palate, he is willing to taste and try new things. The rest of the family will eat anything I drop on the floor. They are not particular and will eat anything they think humans eat. I am referring to my fur babies, Ava and Gibson.
