AVOID MY DISASTER (You’re Welcome)

Hi, I’m Lily Ashworth – and if you’ve ever cried over a burnt grilled cheese or served cereal for dinner after a kitchen disaster, you’re in the right place. The phrase “say a little prayer for the burnt toast” became a family joke – something we’d mutter while scraping crumbs into the sink and laughing at yet another kitchen misadventure.
