✉️ Let’s Connect

Thank you for visiting The Tender Mess. Whether you’ve been following my recipes for a while or you just stumbled upon a comforting casserole on Pinterest, I’m truly grateful you’re here.

I created this space to share not just recipes – but little pieces of life. So if you’ve got a story, a question, or a moment worth sharing, I’d love to hear from you.

📧 General Inquiries

Have a question about a recipe? Need help with a substitution? Want to tell me that your toddler actually liked the lentil soup (and that never happens)?

Feel free to email me at:
contact@thetendermess.com

I personally read and respond to every message that comes through – usually within 2–3 business days (or slightly longer if I’m knee-deep in cookie dough).

🤝 Brand Collaborations

I love partnering with thoughtful, food-friendly brands whose products align with the values of The Tender Mess – simplicity, nourishment, and heart. If you represent a brand and would like to collaborate, I’m open to:

  • Sponsored recipe development
  • Food styling and content creation
  • Product reviews (only items I truly love and use)
  • Social media partnerships (especially Pinterest)
  • Brand ambassadorships

I’m especially interested in working with brands that:

  • Celebrate honest, home cooking
  • Support sustainable or local ingredients
  • Offer tools or products that make everyday cooking easier

📩 Please include in your message:

  • A short overview of your brand
  • Campaign or partnership goals
  • Timeline and deliverables
  • Budget or payment structure

Send all media and PR inquiries to:
contact@thetendermess.com
Subject line: “Collaboration Inquiry – [Your Brand Name]”

📝 Recipe Feedback & Community

One of my favorite parts of blogging is hearing from you. If you’ve tried a recipe and made it your own, have tips for other readers, or simply want to share your version – I welcome your feedback.

Please:

  • Leave a comment directly on the blog post (it helps others too!)
  • Or email me your kitchen win (or honest fail – we’ve all had them)

I also love learning what kinds of recipes you want more of – whether that’s slow cooker dinners, cozy desserts, or beginner-friendly staples. Your input helps shape what’s next on the blog.
