Hi, I’m Amy – coming to you from a kitchen in St. Augustine, FL! My husband always tells our daughter “Watch out – mommy’s cooking again!!” This is because I’m a disaster in the kitchen! I can turn out a mean meal, but it always looks like a tornado hit when I’m done! I love to cook – and always do it with gusto!

I hope you’ll join me on my cooking adventures. I love feeding my family with fresh, homemade foods. Every once and a while, I’ll get a little crazy in the kitchen, but I tend to stick to what I know works and what we love! My goal is to inspire you to get into your kitchen and feed your family homemade goodness. There’s a lot to be said for family meal time!

If you have any questions for me – you can email me (amy at 1messychef.com) or post a comment below and I will be happy to try to help you out!

PS: You can check out my personal blog too, if you’re a blog-a-holic like me!
