Hi, I’m Maddie — welcome to my kitchen!
Welcome to my corner of the internet, where the food is flavorful and the opinions are (lovingly) unsolicited. I’m Maddie — home cook, snack enthusiast, and unfiltered food reviewer.
This all started back in my tiny college kitchen where I got way too excited about turning budget ingredients into meals that actually slapped. Fast forward to now, and I’m still doing the same thing — just with better lighting and sharper knives.
Here, you’ll find recipes I actually cook, reviews that tell it like it is, and maybe a few hot takes you didn’t ask for (but trust me, you need). If it’s delicious, I’ll rave. If it’s trash? I’ll warn you.
Pull up a chair, bring your appetite, and let’s dig in.
You might remember me as the icon, the moment, the legend: Mrs. Trader Joe’s. Back in the day, I was fully committed—ride or die—for one grocery store (I mean, I was literally the Mrs.).
But as I’ve barely grown up, I’ve realized there’s so much more I want to taste, try, and talk about. So here we are: branching out, leveling up, and embracing all the delicious things life (and the snack aisle) has to offer.
You might still spot the occasional “Mrs. Trader Joe’s” or “Trader Joe’s Cart” (long story) watermark—it’s part of my origin story. Just know: it all started with MTJ.
