About Magnolia Kitchen

Welcome to Magnolia Kitchen! For those of you who don't know, my home state Mississippi is often called the "hospitality state." I'm very lucky to have grown up in a family that brought that name to life. Whether it was for a neighborhood block party or an impromptu sleepover after school, my friends always knew they would find good food and better company at my mom's kitchen counter.

​

As I've grown up and moved to new places, I still find that the best way to build community is around a shared meal. Over the years, I've loved getting to celebrate holidays, birthdays, and life's special occasions with friends and family through my cooking and hosting.

​

Now, my goal is to help others bring some joy to their own special occasions. If you're interested in having some good eats for your better company, Magnolia Kitchen is the place for you!
