Join Melinda, a fearless home cook and self-proclaimed “honest omnivore,” on a mouthwatering adventure through food, flavor, and farm-fresh living. With a passport stamped by global eats—think haggis in England, fried crickets in Thailand, steaming pho in Vietnam, and the juiciest burgers at Ray’s Place in Kent—Melinda’s culinary curiosity knows no bounds. Back home, her kitchen hums with the aroma of endless curries, crafted with spices and stories from her travels.

I’m always up for trying something new; something others might shy away from!

The Quirky Girl Kitchen is your front-row seat to Melinda’s food journey. From unearthing hidden gems like the Napili Kitchen to savoring the best local gyros or mastering the latest New York Times recipe, she’s all about trying new things with a quirky twist. A homesteader at heart, Melinda raises her own poultry, rabbits, and goats, harvesting them with care to live as farm-to-table as possible. Say goodbye to Styrofoam shrink-wrapped Big Agra proteins—this is real food, raised and cooked with love.

Ready to ditch the ordinary and embrace the unexpected? Tune in, get quirky, and let Melinda inspire your next kitchen adventure!
