Hi, I’m Donna—the heart and hands behind MrsTcooks.com
What started as a little spot to share my favorite recipes has turned into a place where I get to combine all the things that make me excited: cooking, making videos, and playing with new technology—then sharing it all with you in my reels.
For most of my 20s and 30s, I was deep in the mom zone—raising two amazing kids, keeping everyone fed (sometimes with questionable results—oh wells!), and pouring myself into my family. My husband was my rock, but I won’t lie—my confidence took a back seat for a while.
Then the kids got older, started making their own breakfast 🤩, taking themselves to school 👏, and I realized I actually had time for myself. So I decided to enroll in a Python programming course and started a little daily study routine. Six months later, I was still at it. That sparked a tech adventure: learning cloud computing, collecting a handful of AWS certifications, and eventually tinkering with AI projects I wouldn’t have believed possible a year earlier.
MrsTcooks.com surely has its roots in the kitchen, but it’s also a reminder—to me and hopefully to others—that it’s never too late to start something new. Whether you’re trying something different, finding your way back, or just looking for a little encouragement, I hope my journey shows that you can always grow, rebuild, and go after what inspires you—no matter when you start.
