Hi there! My name is Tenaya, I’m a Military spouse and new mom excited to share recipes and inspiration from my kitchen. Here you’ll find weeknight recipes, meal prep, and kitchen skills to help you get delicious food on the table every day.
I’m a life-long foodie who always thought she would attend culinary school and end up working in kitchens. Instead, I ended up moving to New York City after college and sold chorizo out of a backpack (kind of joking, mostly not) as my first “real” job. I’ve worked in corporate sales and even for a brewery! Now I find myself living the military life and reinventing myself with every PCS (that’s military jargon for moving)!
This Military life has taught me a lot and while it might not be normal to not know if your spouse is coming home at 3pm or 10pm (or tomorrow night), I do know that we all have unpredictability in our lives. Whether it’s unexpected company, or you just forgot to defrost the meat for dinner I’m here to help you pull something delicious together without pulling out your hair.
