Meet the cook
Hi, I’m Julie
Thanks for stopping by! Lovely Little Kitchen is my space to share the recipes and ideas I’m serving to my own family and friends. Food is my love language, and I’m so glad you’re here.
My story
Though I have no formal culinary training, my mom always let me join her in the kitchen. I’ve loved cooking and baking for as long as I can remember. I can still picture creating my very first recipe as a young girl.
I definitely gravitate toward sweets and baked goods, but I push myself to cook and photograph real food, too. (A girl cannot survive on sugar and fat alone, so I’ve heard.)
My family and friends are my trusted taste-testers, and I’m hard at work raising three handsome little foodies. We encourage bravery at the dinner table and celebrate every new favorite.
A few things about me
Self-taught
No culinary school. Just a mom who let me help, and a whole lot of happy practice.
Sweets first
I gravitate to baked goods, but you’ll always find plenty of real food here too.
Three taste-testers
Every recipe is family-tested by my three handsome little foodies.
Made for real life
Approachable ingredients and simple steps that fit busy weeknights.
