As the new year begins, I’ve been reflecting on how I want to make 2025 a year of purpose and growth. One resolution that stands out to me is finding a way to give back to my community in a meaningful way. After some thought, I realized that food—the universal language of comfort and care—could be the perfect starting point.
That’s how Serving Smiles became my 2025 project. I am an amateur cook, but I’m inspired by the idea that a simple meal can make someone’s day a little brighter. Through this blog, I’ll share my journey of learning to cook, experimenting with recipes, and donating meals to local nonprofits that help feed the homeless.
