Grace M. Thompson — Founder, Editor‑in‑Chief & Writer
Grace grew up in a small Midwestern town where family recipes and holiday feasts were the heart of every gathering. Her love of cooking isn’t just a hobby—it’s a passion that fills her days with joy. She enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, from quick weeknight dinners to indulgent desserts, finding satisfaction in transforming simple ingredients into something delightful
The idea for Food From My Heart began when Grace rediscovered her grandmother’s old recipe box and wanted to create a space to share not only recipes but the love and memories that come with them. She believes that cooking should be fun, accessible and full of feeling, and she loves connecting with a supportive community of fellow food lovers who inspire her every day. Through Food From My Heart, Grace aims to make everyone feel at home in the kitchen, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook
