I designed a 52-page cookbook filled with my family’s most beloved recipes, passed down and shared around our table for years. Organized into three sections — main entrees, appetizers, and bakes — the book features hand-drawn illustrations and a custom pattern I created. It’s called Bless This Food Before Us, after the first line of the prayer we’ve said together every night before dinner — a small phrase that has found its way into every season of my life.
