Real Food, Real Life, Sometimes Homemade.

Hey, I’m Melissa!

Recovering perfectionist, food photographer, recipe developer, and the founder of Sometimes Homemade.

I believe food should taste amazing and be made with ingredients you can actually pronounce. I’m just a girl on a mission to ditch the processed stuff and bring real food back into busy kitchens with a little sass and plenty of homemade butter.

I’ve spent decades mastering the basics and giving them a glow-up. This space is for anyone who loves food but lives in the real world. If you’re into clean ingredients, clever shortcuts, and a kitchen that smells like success, welcome home.
