Hello!
Welcome to Laurenariza.com / The Gourmess. I’m Lauren (if that wasn’t obvious) and I live in Costa Mesa, California with my husband, daughter, son, and dog. I currently make weekly cold prepped meals, specialty charcuterie boards, cater events, and still create new recipes when I can! (My email is below for all inquires)
I like getting creative in the kitchen, especially when it comes to throwing out the recipe book and using my imagination with what I have on hand. My goal is to show people that anyone can cook (I think I just quoted the Disney movie ‘Ratatouille’) but seriously, ANYONE can and it can actually be super fun too! Most things I make are on the healthy side, mainly because I was raised to have that frame of mind… But I love to indulge in rich things like mac n’ cheese and ice cream as well… so this is by no means a health food blog. This is everything and anything that can be created in the kitchen. Hope you enjoy!
Xx,
Lauren
