Who am I
Dessert isn't just about satisfying your sweet tooth. It's about evoking memories, sharing traditions, and experiencing the warm embrace of love. As a GRitS (Girl Raised in the South, specifically in the heart of Mississippi, the 'Magnolia State'), I was fortunate to witness firsthand the magic that unfolds in Southern kitchens. My Saturday evenings and nights before special occasions were spent surrounded by love, laughter, stories, and the intoxicating aroma of soul food prepared with love.
My Mom, Grandma, aunts, and older sisters shared recipes and traditions passed down through generations, infusing traditional Southern soul food with their own unique twists and adaptations. They poured their hearts and souls into every dish. Their passion for creating these culinary masterpieces inspired me, and it's that same love that fuels Magnolia Sweet.
