About

Hi! I’m Raissa and welcome to ‘a lovely nook’—a corner of the world wide web I claim as my own.

I’m a southern gal, married to a handsome bloke, and momma to my three spunky, blonde-headed boy babes. I am a teacher of 13 years. And in my “free” time – I write and create digital products that nourish my creative side.

Life in a whirlwind of mourning and dancing, and I believe every story is worth listening to. After the loss of my mother almost nine years ago, I began intentionally setting aside time to write. And reading other’s stories. It all fed my soul, and in the mist of such a trial, the connections made me feel not so alone.

So in this space I love to connect my love of creating recipes, and writing the stories that inspire them. My hope is that these recipes become beloved favorites in your own home, creating new stories and traditions for many generations.

Here in my little nook of the world, it’s a medley of recipes, and bits of storytelling. May you always feel encouraged, comforted, and a sense of friendship in this space!
