Come spend some Thyme at my Table!
Oh! Hi!
I'm Kenzie! This is the first blog post for what I am hoping will be a legacy for my family to look back on. I want them to be inspired to acknowledge a dream and make it happen. I have loved cooking and creating for as long as I can remember. Its always been a beautiful process to me, combining colors, flavors and textures! Discovering new flavor combinations that satisfy the taste buds and assure the mind of wholesome nutrients is thrilling.
A little about me... I grew up in Utah just south of Salt Lake City. I have Pseudo Tumor Cerebri/Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. I'm no stranger to hospital stays and being poked, prodded and scanned. I have had 9 neuro surgeries in the last 18 years. Currently I am on the longest streak I have had without a hospital stay for my shunt (life saving tube in my brain, crazy I know). I love binging TV series and having movie marathons. some of my binge worthy favorites are Grimm, The Office, The 100, Criminal Minds, SWAT, When Calls The Heart, RuPauls Drag Race, Sister Wives, and Little House on the Prairie. For movie marathons I like watching the Harry Potter series, Hunger Games, The Santa Clauses, I enjoy creating things like pencil sketches, water coloring, oil painting, pastels and charcoal art. I'm thirty something with a deep connection to Jesus, my husband, daughter and family. I am a cosmetologist, self proclaimed chef, conductor of the hot mess express (toot, toot, all aboard!), tone deaf wanna be Grammy winner and master organizer (when I feel like it haha).This photo is used with permission from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I try to always keep my kitchen a safe space to gather and a place of learning. In my kitchen I have had the most amazing conversations, the biggest laughs and the tightest hugs. My heart bursts with joy when my daughter sits at the counter as I peel, dice, chop, season, sear, flip and knead and teach her to do the same. We talk about school and what's great and not so great. We talk about her new crushes (heaven help me haha) and kids she struggles to get along with. I share experiences, she shares experiences, we laugh and sometimes we cry. My kitchen is the heart of my home and I wouldn't want it any other way!
So friend, come on over and lets spend some "thyme" at my table. I saved you a seat.
xoxo,
Kenzie
