My Chunky Table

I’ve always joked that I have a black thumb. 🌱😂

Then one day I walked outside and noticed tomato plants growing in my flower bed.

At first, I just stood there thinking…

Wait… I never planted tomatoes.

After a little detective work, we figured out exactly who our mystery gardener was.

🐶 Meet Farmer Zoë.

I guess she’s been planting our garden all along. 🍅

What’s the funniest thing your pet has ever done? 👇🏼

There’s something special about a city that knows how to gather. 🍽️✨

The Best of Grand Rapids party was more than just an event filled with incredible food and local businesses. It was a celebration of connection, community, creativity, and the people who make this city feel so welcoming and alive.

There’s just something special about seeing people come together to celebrate the heart of our city. 💙

As someone whose heart behind My Chunky Table has always been about gathering people together around food and meaningful experiences, nights like this feel especially inspiring. Food has such a beautiful way of creating conversations, building friendships, and turning ordinary moments into memories.

So grateful to be part of a community that continues to value gathering, supporting local, and celebrating one another. 💙

Building connection over perfection. 🍰✨

This beautiful layered cake is one of my favorite desserts because it takes away the pressure of perfectly decorating and focuses more on the experience of building a cake to enjoy together.

I loved being back on Fox Morning Mix with Michelle and Todd sharing laughs, building a cake together, and reminding people that the kitchen can be a place for confidence, creativity, and connection. 💙

If you’d like to watch the full Fox Morning Mix segment to see my favorite way to cut and serve a cake, I’ll share the link in the caption/comments below.

Two crepe classes this week and I loved every minute of it 💙

From learning the techniques to creating their own crepe masterpiece,
my favorite part is watching everyone come together and so proud of what they made.

Crepes have become one of our family favorites, especially when we’re inviting people over or hosting a dessert night. It’s such a fun way to turn dessert into an activity and create your own experience together.

It’s always more than just the recipe… it’s the time spent together, the conversations, and the memories created along the way.

I’d love to have you join me in the kitchen sometime 💙

The best part of Tokyo…
was the tables 💙

Every table, a place to gather.
To try something new.
To share it together.

Getting to bring my best friends along
to a place that has my heart…
made it all the more meaningful.

And this was just the beginning of so many more tables to come 💙

What’s a table you’ve experienced that you’ll never forget?

I had so much fun sharing my Chocolate Raspberry Torte on Fox 17 Morning Mix.

It’s one of those desserts that looks impressive, but when you break it down step by step, it becomes something you can actually create and feel proud of.

Layers of rich chocolate cake, a creamy raspberry filling, and those chocolate curls on top… it’s as delicious as it looks.

If you’ve ever wanted to try making something like this, this is exactly what I teach in my classes. 💙
You can find upcoming classes and details on my website

Comment “CAKE” and I’ll send you the full recipe

Tag me if you make it. I would LOVE to see what you create.
