Hi, I’m Sam — a wife, a mom, and someone who finds a lot of joy in creating a simple, cozy life for the people I love.
Dishing Up Chic began years ago as a place to share creative hobbies like cooking, crafting, and beauty. Over time, it’s grown alongside me. Life looks a lot different now, and so does the heart behind this space.
These days, my greatest joy is caring for my family, cooking meals that bring everyone to the table, creating a warm and welcoming home, and savoring the quieter rhythms of everyday life. I love experimenting in the kitchen, reading in the early morning or late evening, and finding small ways to make home feel intentional and lived-in.
This blog is my creative outlet, a place to share what I’m making, learning, and loving in this season. You’ll find simple recipes, cozy homemaking ideas, thoughtful reflections, and little bits of inspiration rooted in slowing down and finding beauty in the ordinary.
Dishing Up Chic is less about perfection and more about presence. It’s about creating a life that feels comforting, meaningful, and true — one meal, one moment, one small tradition at a time.
I’m so glad you’re here.



Can’t wait to see your blog. So proud of you.
