Welcome to Yum Family!

Hey there! Thanks for stumbling upon our corner of the internet. We’re thrilled to have you here.

At Yum Family, we’re all about celebrating the joy of food in its many forms. Whether you’re seeking healthy recipes, comforting indulgences, or tantalizing cocktails and mocktails, you’ll find it all here. We’re passionate about eating seasonally and sourcing local ingredients whenever possible because we believe that good food starts with quality ingredients.

Who’s behind all this culinary magic? Well, that would be me. I’m Michelle Gomez, and my love affair with food knows no bounds. From savoring the salty goodness of lamb to reveling in the sweetness of chocolate, I’m all about exploring the endless possibilities that food has to offer. And yes, I have a cheese drawer that would make any dairy enthusiast proud.

While my heart belongs to the kitchen, I’m also a lover of music, with a particular soft spot for James Taylor tunes. And despite my affinity for all things sweet, the name of this blog isn’t just about sugar—it’s inspired by the timeless song “How Sweet It Is” because, well, that’s how I feel about food.

Here, you’ll find a mix of recipes born from my self-taught, mom-taught, and grandma-taught culinary adventures. I’m no stranger to kitchen mishaps, but hey, that’s all part of the fun, right? And if you’re curious about what goes on beyond the recipes, stick around for my musings on life, love, and everything in between.

I’m based in Arizona, where I reside with my Husband and Children. Together, we navigate the ups and downs of life, fueled by good food and even better company.

So, whether you’re here for the recipes, the stories, or just to satisfy your curiosity, welcome to Yum Family. We’re so glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to embark on this delicious journey with you.

Happy cooking!

Michelle Gomez
