In The Kitchen With Momma Mel

Mel is that favorite auntie everyone loves, ready with a big hug and something delicious in the kitchen. With years as a wife and working mom, she’s the go-to for quick meals, budget-friendly tips, and practical advice—all shared with a warm Appalachian charm and a sweet accent that draws you in. Her humor surprises many; she laughs off kitchen mishaps with a “can-do” attitude and infectious giggle. Nearing empty-nester life, Mel stays close to her growing family with regular dinners, and she and her husband of over 30 years, Patrick, are embracing new adventures as he joins her more often in the kitchen after retirement.
