Thanks for stopping by to check me out! I hope you stay a while. and come back as I add more recipes. Feel free to make requests in the comments below.
You’re probably wondering why I decided to start a food blog. Well, there’s many reasons but the top 5 are:
- I love cooking. Growing up, we always came together around the dinner table each night and my mom always encouraged us to help out or take responsibility for family dinner once a week. This stuck with me and now that I have my own place and family I still love hosting family-style dinners for our friends. Cooking is my unwind.
- I love experimenting with flavors and new ingredients. Sometimes our kitchen looks like an episode of Chopped where I end up throwing random ingredients together into something never seen before. Other times I take existing recipes and make crazy substitutions based on what I have on hand.
- I enjoy photography. I’m definitely a hobbyist photographer, but food blogging will give me a place to practice my photography on a regular basis and hopefully learn and grow a lot more.
- I enjoy writing. I blogged my summer trip to Italy and Spain and found that I really liked writing on a regular basis. It’s a great creative outlet for me and I think others enjoyed reading it.
- I love sharing with others. In Fort Collins I used to have a weekly girls night where I’d teach a new recipe to some of my newly-married friends. We had such a blast! I have also regularly posted photos on Facebook and been asked to share the recipes. This gives me a more formal platform to share our family favorites (and those who kept suggesting it can stop bugging me to start a blog now.)
What’s my goal with this blog you ask? I want to empower and inspire others in the kitchen and their homes. I want to document and share my food ideas and recipes with others and also talk a bit about what else sustains our family – our faith, our home organization, our budget and shopping habits, our hobbies, and our friends and family. Most of all, I want to have fun!
