Hi, I'm LaTonya.

I'm a Virginia girl, born and raised, and I have been baking since I was a preteen, flipping through the pages of cookbooks and recipe magazines long before I ever knew it would turn into something more. That love of discovering new recipes never left — it just grew into a passion for creating them.

As a working mom of three — two adult children and one very busy middle schooler — I know firsthand what it means to want a delicious meal or dessert without making life more complicated. I develop recipes for home cooks just like me — the busy mom juggling work, soccer practice, and everything in between.

My recipes are approachable, reliable, and made with real life in mind. Whether that means cooking from scratch or reaching for a smart shortcut, I believe good food should be achievable for everyone at the end of a long day.

As a Pretty Focused graduate I bring professional food photography and kitchen tested recipe development together in every package I create — because good recipes deserve photos that make people stop scrolling.
