Hi!
Meet the mind behind the food, photography, and writing. My journey here has been a series of learning and personal growth.
Here is a little about me
I am mother, wife, pet owner, and creative thinker. I like to dabble in all things artistic. Gardening is a passion of mine. I have herb, vegetable and flower gardens. Filling my home with personal harvest and flowers from my yard fills my heart. I think it goes hand in hand with creating beautiful meals.
I have been cooking since as long as I can remember. In fact my first word was, “hot” followed by, “hot dog” because my mother used to put me in a high chair next her in the kitchen while she was cooking. My rebel little hands kept trying to grab and touch everything which resulted in Ma yelling, “hot.” Plus I just loved hot dogs.
Always being a hands on learner I found myself mixing bowls, kneading dough, peeling vegetables everyday and retaining everything I was taught. This took with me into adulthood and forever found myself entertaining my guests with meals and drinks!
How it all started
Becoming a mom at 22 put me straight into my favorite role in life and also allowed me the opportunity to perfect my culinary skills by preparing meals for my new family. It became an obsession of sorts.
My husband worked as a outside salesman and found himself on the road during the week and some overnights. He would call me in the evenings and tell me about the amazing Italian chicken marsala he had. A fancy breakfast, Japanese Katsu, or some delicious Mexican Carne Asada tacos. I decided to challenge myself and out cook all the restaurants. I’m happy to say I won that competition, and it has been a fun adventure the whole way.
As time goes on and I build this site I hope to gain new skills to teach my followers and keep this a great experience for us all! Thank you for joining me on this journey, let’s create something beautiful!
Each one of these dishes have been created by me and can be found here on my website.
