My family means everything to me.

Hi! I’m so excited you’re here!

I’m Geneva—most people call me Gi.

I’m Italian, originally from New Jersey, a mom of three, a foster mom, a Navy veteran, and the proud wife of the best guy I’ve ever met, Tim. We’ve been married for 12 years and now call Florida home!

Two years ago, life threw me a curveball—I was unexpectedly and randomly paralyzed from the chest down. (Crazy, I knowww.) The “experts” said I’d never walk independently again, but here I am, proving them all wrong. The journey isn’t over, but trust me—I’m not done yet.

That’s actually how Macaroni & Butter was born. Through it all, food, family, and a little bit of humor have kept me going. This is my place to share the things that bring me joy—simple, comforting recipes, Amazon finds I cannotgatekeep, travel adventures, and a sprinkle of Pinterest-inspired chaos.

Let’s Get You Stuffed

If you’re tired of wondering what’s for dinner, my weekly meal plan, Stuffed, is here to save you. Every week, I send out a subscriber-only plan packed with easy, delicious meals that actually taste good (no sad salads or bland chicken here). It’s all about big flavors, simple ingredients, and zero stress—because meal planning shouldn’t feel like a second job
