Hello there!

Hi, I'm Summer — the slightly messy apron behind Summer & Cinnamon. I'm a mom of three boys, raised in sunny Mesa and now planted in the Utah mountains, where I've traded city life for hiking trails and mixing bowls. Before kids, I worked in events — now I share comfort food recipes my family actually eats and party planning calculators built on real catering math.
