The Best Stories Start In The Kitchen! | Goodtaste for the Soul e59

Sometimes the best stories start in the kitchen!Today’s guest is a beautiful family with a whopper of a story. Lila Smethurst’s path to the Food Network’s Kids’ Baking Championship started not just with a love for baking, but out of necessity. When Lila was only seven years old, her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Because her mother’s treatment was so intense, she couldn’t be in the kitchen—so Lila had to learn to cook.That early spark grew into a passion, and that passion eventually led her to a national stage—bright lights, big bakes, and the courage to believe she belonged there. Lila’s story is a reminder that even in life’s most challenging moments, something beautiful can begin to rise.An added bonus, Lila didn’t stop with her Food Network win.  She’s giving back in other ways - and right now, she needs your help.  For more info: https://pages.lls.org/svoy/stx/svoysa26/lsmethurstphotographs courtesy of Food Network
