Hi y’all!
I’m Katrina Adams – an award-winning food blogger, cookbook author, and party planner with a passion for bringing families together through the joy of cooking and entertaining. I believe the kitchen is the heart of every home, where some of the best memories are made, one delicious meal at a time.
My love for food and entertaining began early. As a little girl, I watched my grandmother, mother, and aunts pour love into every dish they created. I guess you could say it’s in my genes! Their passion ignited a spark in me that has never faded. From weddings and baby showers to casual get-togethers, I’ve always found joy in cooking, baking, and creating unforgettable events for family and friends.
That passion led me to start my blog, “In The Kitchen with K Marie,” where I share my favorite recipes and tips for entertaining. I wanted to create a space where I could help others turn simple meals into special moments. Friends and family often asked for my recipes and ideas, so I thought, why not share them with the world? Now, I’m thrilled to be part of a growing community of home cooks who believe that every meal is an opportunity to connect and celebrate.
I’m honored to be an ambassador for Sweet Grown Alabama and to share the flavors of my home state with a wider audience. Whether I’m teaching cooking classes at local libraries across Birmingham, Jefferson, and Shelby counties or whipping up my award-winning cookie butter pie and lemon pound cake (available at Birmingham grocery stores and Mercantile Boutique!), I’m always excited to inspire others to embrace creativity in the kitchen.
For me, continuing my family’s culinary legacy is both a joy and a privilege. I live by the motto, “A recipe isn’t a contract – don’t be afraid to make it your own!” I want to encourage you to get creative, have fun, and make your kitchen a place of love, laughter, and endless possibilities. Let’s learn together how to cook with love and a sense of self in every way possible!
Welcome to my kitchen! Let’s create something delicious together. Happy cooking!
