Me

I'm a gal who likes to cook. My mother is an amazing inspiration in the kitchen, and I try to absorb her skills like a sponge... but I'm willing to admit I have a long way to go!

My recipe collection far exceeds the time I have to try it all, but I just can't seem to part with the ones I really want to attempt someday. In an overwhelmed moment of trying to find a recipe I just KNEW I had somewhere, I decided to create this blog as a "catchall" for those photocopies, magazine clippings, and handwritten notes floating around my house and kitchen. I'm so excited to have everything in one place that can be searched by tags, ingredients, and categories!

Although many of these recipes will come from other sources (links available), any posted food photos will be from my personal experiences... successful or not.

I hope others might find some inspiration here too. Happy cooking!
