Growing up in a kitchen filled with warm smells and louder laughter, I always loved watching my grandma whip together pound treats that somehow turned into the fluffiest cakes. She never measured a thing, just went by feel, trusting what her hands remembered and what lived in her memory. It was like watching a little bit of magic happen right in front of me. Now I can’t help but smile thinking about how those simple moments still taste like home.
