Welcome to Stir and Giggle, where the flour flies, the spoons clatter, and the giggles never stop!

I’m the co-chef to Makayla, my spirited 4-year-old and the true head chef of our home kitchen. Whether she’s picking the recipe or choosing the cutest cookie cutters, Makayla leads our culinary adventures with joy and flair.

We started this blog to share our love for baking and cooking as a way to unwind, connect, and create something delicious together. Cooking with kids isn’t just fun—it’s full of benefits. It helps build motor skills, sparks curiosity, and most importantly, strengthens the bond between parent and child.

As a mom, I care deeply about feeding Makayla healthy and homemade meals. This care includes the snacks that she brings to school. We believe that good food doesn’t have to be complicated. Little hands can make a big difference in the kitchen.

Stir and Giggle is our recipe scrapbook. It is a collection of dishes we’ve cooked side by side. We enjoy playful pancake mornings and come up with veggie-packed lunchbox ideas. Everything here is tasted and toddler-approved.

Thanks for joining us on our delicious journey. We hope our kitchen stories inspire you to cook with your little ones and savor every messy, magical moment.

With love and laughter,
Chef Makayla & Co-Chef Mom and Dad of Makayla
