I’m Dorothy –

the heart and hungry mind behind Goodies & Grit.

This blog is my little corner of the internet to share delicious food, favorite drinks, and the messy, joyful reality of life in my 40s — as a woman, mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend. I love cooking that delights, eating that’s fun, and finding contentedness even when life doesn’t go as planned. For me, this blog is about more than just food and drinks… it’s also about building resilience, finding delight in small moments, and showing up for yourself with strength and a smile, no matter what life throws your way.

At Goodies & Grit, you’ll find recipes that taste amazing, personal stories and reflections I hope offer some insight or comfort, and playful ideas meant to encourage more meaningful experiences in your daily life. Pull up a chair, pour yourself something tasty, and join me as I navigate midlife with goodies for the table, grit for the soul, and a healthy dose of laughter along the way.
