ABOUT ADLEN

Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I am Adlen, wife to Paul, mother of four young adult children, and pet mom to Indigo, our sweet Morkie. I have loved to cook my entire life and even when our four children were young, I was almost always in the kitchen—developing recipes, experimenting with different tools and techniques, and discovering ways to make “boring” food taste extraordinary. I have also always been a writer—I wrote for school newspapers in high school and college, and wrote for several literary magazines. 

When our youngest son was three years old, I combined my passion for food with my love of writing and began developing recipes and writing about them in our local newspaper. Soon after that, I began writing another column in the newspaper’s Lifestyle section about all sorts of topics. I called the column, “Home Matters,” and dreamed of one day writing a book with the same title. 

In 2009,  I excitedly published “Home Matters: The Guide to Organizing Your Life and Home.” Now, these years later, I am thrilled to launch this new chapter in my life. Adlen’s Home Matters is a place where you can find new recipes, the latest trends when it comes to food, information about living your best life, things about parenting, gardening, health and fitness, nutrition, living organically and much more. Oh, and I am working on a new book I cannot wait to tell you about! 

I always love hearing from readers, so please don’t be a stranger! 

Thank you so much for checking in—and always remember, when it comes to family, home matters.
