About Me
Hello!
I’m Mona, and I love cooking & gatherings, especially at my house.
I love having people over for anything! Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, holidays, game nights, or even just for a quick cup of coffee. There’s something special about hosting people and seeing them enjoy themselves in my home.
Hosting
I’ve been honing my cooking and hostessing skills since I was a little girl. Some of my fondest memories are of gatherings at my grandmother’s house — we’d all sit together, share a delicious meal, talk about Chicago sports, and quote movies — all while enjoying some amazing coffee and dessert. I try to recreate that same warmth and comfort whenever I’m planning a gathering myself.


Crowd-pleasing recipes
I’m no professional party planner or fancy chef. Over time, I’ve learned how to make cooking and hosting less intimidating and more enjoyable, and I’d love to share my tips and tricks with you, too.
I share delicious recipes with a twist on traditional dishes to make them easy to follow and enjoyable for everyone. Cooking should be a delight, and I’m here to help you make it enjoyable for everyone!
