For as long as I can remember, my favorite way to share joy with people has been through food. I always look forward seeing the smile on others’ faces when they’re given something baked with love. Especially when we face difficulties in the world, little acts of kindness like sharing meals or baking for others make more of an impact that we know. No matter one’s age, race or culture, there’s no denying that food brings people together.
