I’ve got a little something new to share—and don’t worry, nothing is going away! After years of sending out my musings and stories straight from my traditional foods kitchen, I’ve also set up a cozy little corner with Mary’s Nest on Substack. It’s just one more place where we can gather and share the heartwarming moments, nourishing kitchen adventures, and those everyday reflections that make life so special.

Mary’s Nest on Substack
If you’ve enjoyed reading my newsletter—whether it’s been a peek into what I’m stirring on the stove, a little reflection from my kitchen garden, a lighthearted tale I scribbled down with a warm cup of coffee in one hand and my sweet pup Indy snoozing by my feet, or the joy I find in those simple household tasks that fill the cadence of my days—then you’ll feel right at home on Substack too. It’s still me, chatting away about sourdough starters, seasonal soups, Indy’s backyard escapades, and the rhythms of life here in the Texas Hill Country.
Now don’t worry—my regular newsletter isn’t going anywhere. I’m still publishing it with links to videos and new content, just as always. But if you happen to already use Substack or enjoy reading through that platform, I wanted you to know you can find me there too. And the best part? It’s all free! You can read each post in your inbox or on the Substack app if you like catching up on the go—just that same warm-hearted connection we’ve always shared.
What You’ll Find with Mary’s Nest on Substack
Over on Substack, I’ll post the same kinds of things I share in my newsletter and social media: behind-the-scenes bits and bobs, family stories, pantry tips, and those tender reflections that seem to swirl around in my head when the house is quiet, and the coffee or tea is warm. It’s just another cozy space to gather together in this lovely social circle we’ve built.
So whether you’re just here with me, are following me over there, or both—I’m so grateful for you. You are a blessing in my life, and your presence means more to me than you know.
And if you’re on Substack, come pull up a chair at my new table. I’ll have the kettle on, and I can’t wait to share more with you—one heartfelt story at a time.
