Welcome to my kitchen. I am so glad that you stopped by!
Hi! I am June, the voice behind this food blog where I share my passion for simple and amazing recipes.
I have loved cooking and creating in the kitchen for as long as I can remember. Being in the kitchen is definitely my happy place.
I started this blog in late 2017 as a way to share my love of making simple recipes spectacular.
For years I owned and operated a cake decorating business and deli in my hometown before becoming a high school culinary teacher. It wasn’t until June of 2021 that I stepped away from 8 years of teaching young adults to cook to make Practically Homemade my full time job.
I truly believe that we don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen to make amazing food that everyone will go crazy for. In fact, at Practically Homemade I share easy recipes that allow you to get time back in your life for things you love without sacrificing flavor.
Join me, let’s make delicious food for ourselves, family and friends while also saving time to savor the special moments.
Let’s connect! Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, and you can subscribe by email to receive new posts and seasonal inspiration here.
I talk a lot about my kids, so let me tell you a bit more about them. They would to meet you!
Meet Tater:
Tate {aka Tater} graduated from New Mexico State College with a degree in Marketing and an emphasis in majoring in Pro Golf Management. He is my first born and my first love. I tease that he is a 80 year old trapped in a 24 year old body because…it is true. Tater is strong in his beliefs and will let you know about it. When he doesn’t have a golf club in his hands {which isn’t often}, you can find him behind the wheel of a virtual race car. He just moved back to our home town and is teaching Kindergarten.
Meet Tales:
Taylea {Tay-lee, aka Tales} is a go-getter and life of the party. I always say that life would have been boring without her in our family. She is sarcastic but sweet, energetic but loves to nap, has a mind of her own but is changes quickly and loves big! I just can’t get enough of this girl but in the same breath…she wears me out! She lives in central Oregon with her boyfriend and his sweet boys. She is working at a dermatology health clinic as a medial assistant and hoping to get into nursing school this fall.
