Welcome to my Blog
Hello and welcome! I’m Ava, the storyteller and cook behind Skillet and Story.
I believe that every recipe has a story—and every kitchen holds memories waiting to be made. That’s why I created this blog: to share the dishes I love and the stories that come with them.
From the first time I cracked an egg into a hot skillet as a kid, I’ve been hooked on the magic of home cooking. Food has always been my way of connecting with others, expressing love, and creating comfort on even the busiest days.
At Skillet and Story, I share all types of recipes—from quick skillet meals to slow-baked comfort food, savory mains to sweet treats. No matter the dish, my focus is always on expert homemade cooking that’s accessible, practical, and full of heart.
I live in the USA, where I spend most of my days cooking, testing new ideas, and writing recipes that are just as enjoyable to make as they are to eat. Each post here is more than just a set of instructions—it’s a piece of my kitchen, a slice of my story, and hopefully, a new favorite for you.
Whether you’re looking to master a weeknight dinner, try a new dessert, or simply feel inspired, you’re in the right place. I’m so glad you’re here—now let’s cook up something beautiful, one story at a time.
With love,
Ava
Founder of Skillet and Story
