      Hi! Thank you for popping in! I’m Vicki. If you’ve ever stared into your fridge or pantry and sighed ~ Let’s stir things up! I bring joy, laughter and a sense of “what’s next” back into everyday cooking and baking, through playful twists on classic recipes and yummy new flavors. If it tastes great, makes you smile & doesn’t require a culinary degree, it belongs here! Just joyful, doable food that tastes amazing! Enjoy!!

      ❝ What’s Next Kitchen” came from a “what now?” moment. I found myself in a new home, in a new state, our daughters grown up and out of the house. I had left a career in teaching and was wondering, “What’s Next??” I turned to my happy place, my love language: BAKING. Yes, I recognize it’s not actually one of the five love languages…or is it?? Ha ha. I decided to share my recipes, stories and hopefully a few laughs along the way….discovering what IS next. I hope you’ll join me for this journey!

      Hi! Thank you for popping in! I think joy, laughter and a sense of “what’s next” should be in everyday cooking and baking.

      Growing up, we moved around a lot. We loved and appreciated the different foods and adventures we experienced in our travels. My dad’s southern roots and my mom’s northern roots combined to give us a unique and layered view of food and cooking. When mom would cook, dad would sneak a bite and start a wiggle dance, humming, ❝ MMM…MMMM…MMMM ❞. His eyes would twinkle and a slow gigantic grin would spread across his face. We would all laugh and dig in! I can still hear my parents voices when I’m eating something especially delicious! I know they are smiling and dancing together as they look down and see me in this adventure!!
