Come join me in my kitchen
I’m Katherine — wife, mama, homemaker, and urban homesteader. Most days you’ll find me right here, milling einkorn, stirring something warm on the stove, or pulling a fresh loaf from the oven while little feet patter around me.
This kitchen is the heart of our home, where simple ingredients turn into comfort and where slow, sustaining rhythms shape our days.
I didn’t set out to build a homestead in the middle of Detroit, but one small step at a time — a garden bed, a few chickens, einkorn sourdough, and a grain mill humming on the counter — it became a life that truly sustains.
Now I share the recipes, skills, and gentle routines that help us live more simply and more fully.If you’re new to einkorn or just looking for wholesome recipes that feel warm and nourishing, welcome to my kitchen. I’m so glad you’re here. Settle in and make yourself at home.
