hey friends,

I’m the recipe developer, photographer, and home party enthusiast behind Everyday Elizabeth and the cookbook, Everyday Entertaining: 101+ Recipes for Going All Out When You’re Staying In.

Formerly known as The College Housewife, I started my blog in an effort to channel my love of food and photography.

Fast forward a few years and I’ve published my first cookbook and earned the title of Saveur Magazine Readers Choice 2018 ‘Best Entertaining Blog.’

Nowadays you’ll most often find me in my studio kitchen where I’m working on new recipes and capturing the beauty of cooking. I also find myself swept up in DIY projects like my Martini-Themed Bathroom Makeover, so be sure to follow along on those adventures too!

I’d recommend starting with the Cedar Plank Salmon and Frozen Strawberry Margaritas, but you really can’t go wrong. These recipes – and the ones from my cookbook – are the recipes I still make every day to nourish my body and soul. I hope they become as special to you as they are to me!
