Two Beans and a Pea

Family Recipes
Simple Recipes, trusted tools, and global flavors - curated for real life.

Over 30 years ago my Mom gifted me a giant notebook of recipes from friends and family.

My vision is to revitalize my favorites so that I can pass on to new friends and family for years to come.

About me

My name is Allison Mazzola

I’m a retired home cook enjoying life in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where I spend my days cooking, experimenting, and sharing the tools and ingredients that make my kitchen feel like home.

From the big blue cookbook, the Cozy Burger. 🍔 I think they are supposed to mimic the Krystal or White Castle burger. The instructions are funny-No Cheese allowed! I cheated and added 🧀 shhhh! #twobeansandapea

✨ It’s official — Two Beans & a Pea is live! ✨
After years of cooking for the people I love, collecting family recipes, and finding joy in the simple magic of a home kitchen, I’m finally sharing it all in one cozy corner of the internet.

From the Blue Ridge Mountains to your table, my goal is to bring you comforting, approachable recipes that keep traditions alive — with a few new twists along the way. I’ll also be sharing the tools, ingredients, and little kitchen joys that make cooking feel like home for me.

This next chapter feels especially meaningful as I celebrate turning 60. It’s never too late to start something new, follow a spark, or build something that feels true to who you are.

📌 Follow along for recipes, stories, and kitchen inspiration
💛 And thank you — when you shop through my Amazon links, you help support this passion project and keep the recipes coming.

Here’s to good food, warm memories, and new beginnings.
