About This Blog

Simply put, I am a small-town girl who discovered (way too late to keep up with foodies) how much I love to cook. I love food, experimenting and creating, paying attention to flavors, colors and textures, and love the appreciative noises and remarks when I make something particularly delicious. I'm still learning, as I probably always will be, and it's cool to me how this blog is chronicling my gradual journey. I love sharing recipes I've made and enjoyed, and even some I've created myself- I'm getting better at it, but still a little doubtful of myself.

I started this blog for a few reasons...

• to push myself to cook more, not that I need any help now... I love takeout, but I'm always a little disappointed on nights I don't get to cook... so that's usually when I bake.
• to pay closer attention to/better my relationship with food (less junk!)
• to hopefully give some friends ideas for things to cook
• hopefully help some see that cooking doesn't have to be difficult
• to keep track of recipes I liked. I rarely cook the same thing twice, as I get way too excited to try something new.

I hope others enjoy these recipes too... I love to hear how they turned out!

HAPPY KITCHENING!
