Hi, I’m Kelsey!
I started Northern Yum in 2016, but the heart behind it goes back much further.
I’m so glad you’re here!
The Heart Behind Northern Yum
I grew up in the kitchen with my Mom, learning how to cook, bake, and appreciate the joy that comes from sharing good food with the people you love.
Many of the recipes here are family favorites she passed down (and some my Grandma passed down)—the ones we made for holidays, gatherings, and celebrations.
Northern Yum has become a special place for me, a way to honor those memories and keep those traditions alive while sharing new favorites along the way.
