HOME & KTICHEN kitchen Michele Fernanda ‘I’m a Girl Gone International because I see the sun rising in one country and setting in another.’ Brazil GGI Community Manager Houston, Texas What brought you to your current city? We were relocated for my husband’s job. What has inspired your kitchen? Homemade goods, family recipes and the color red are elements that inspire and surround our everyday kitchen. We enjoy and value our daily cooking. Why is the kitchen an important part of your house and important part of making a “home”? Dinner became very important in my house. It is the only meal period I share with my husband. Dinnertime helps us to shape our routine. It is a time we gather to check in with each other, celebrate accomplishments of the day and cheer one another. There are so many stories over dinner!
