I’ve been lucky to call some truly special places home: from the sandy shores of Ocean City, Maryland, to the breathtaking mountains of South Lake Tahoe, then on to the cozy small town of Gardnerville, Nevada. After a return to the Tahoe area, life has brought me back east to Elkton, Maryland, where I’m planting new roots.

Though the scenery has changed from ocean waves to alpine forests to quiet town streets, the heart of my life remains the same. I cherish the charm of small-town living, the simple joys, and the connections that make a place truly home.

This blog started as a way to share my passion for gluten-free baking and cooking, with the flavors of the places I’ve traveled sprinkled throughout. Here, you’ll find recipes, kitchen stories, and travel tales that reflect the tastes and textures of my journey.

I’m excited to continue this adventure here in Maryland, blending old favorites with new inspirations.

This blog is a celebration of that spirit: New place, same heart. Small town living with fresh adventures.

Here, I share my journey, my cooking, photography, and the everyday magic of discovering new horizons while keeping that small-town charm alive, one new adventure at a time.
