Mother's Day is this weekend. Have you figured out the plan yet?

If the answer is no, we've got you. Bring mom into the kitchen for a hands-on class that ends with a full meal you made together. Way more memorable than waiting 45 minutes for a brunch table.

A few spots are still open. Book at the link in bio before the weekend sneaks up on you.

Today is National Herb Day and we feel very seen 🌿

Fresh basil, rosemary, mint, chives — a handful of the right herb turns a good dish into a great one. It's the easiest upgrade in the kitchen and somehow still the most underrated.

What herb are you reaching for first? Drop it in the comments.

Come cook with us this week. Bold flavors, good company, and a full Mexican Fiesta menu you all make together from scratch. Significantly better than waiting on a table at a packed restaurant.

Mother's Day is May 10 this year. The weekend before and the week leading up to it? That's prime time for something actually memorable.

Skip the brunch reservation and the two hour wait. Instead, bring mom into the kitchen for a hands-on cooking class that ends with a full meal you made together. It's the kind of quality time that doesn't happen often enough, and way more fun than waiting on a table.

Classes are available for moms and their little ones, moms and their adult kids, girls nights, and everything in between. Whatever makes her feel celebrated, we've got a class for it.
