About Me

Hi, and welcome to my blog!  As much as I enjoy cooking, this blog is a way to record my experiences for myself as well as a way to keep me inspired and motivated to try something new and worth blogging about.  

I hope that you will find it to be real and true.  So often blogs are filled with beautiful pictures and while so inspiring and pleasing to look at, I just want to keep it real.   The pictures are taken in haste with my iPhone while I try to cook a meal.  There is no lighting room, barely any photo editing, and at best, amateur photo styling.  My hope is that it looks like a real kitchen with someone cooking and learning with some errors along the way. 

Yes, cooking can be a hassle.  So much work goes into it: going grocery store to grocery store trying to find the right ingredients, the countless hours spent in the kitchen trying again and again to master techniques, learning by burning and overflowing, cooking for so many hours you're exhausted and either so sick of looking at the food or so hungry you can barely snap a picture before shoving food in your mouth.  Yes, cooking is a labor of love; it's one way to show how much you care and a way to bring people together.  That's why I do it, and this blog reminds me of that.


I hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!
