About

Who doesn't like food? I'm pretty sure everyone likes to eat... but who doesn't like to cook and bake? Sure not everyone likes to or maybe not everyone has the time or is too intimidated by it... Yup I was there once, scared of the stove and oven, wondering if i would ever have the courage to make more than scrambled eggs and quesadillas. But all of that changed in April of 2011... I got married and didn’t know how to cook! I realized that I needed to make an effort to change my ways. So I did what any girl would do, I bought cook books (lots of cook books!), looked up recipes online, sometimes came up with recipes on my own and I even took some cooking and baking classes at the local community college. I slowly realized that not all the recipes out there are all that good. Some recipes were just too complicated! They required a professional kitchen and at least 5 hands. Some of them just didn’t taste very good even though I’d followed all the steps correctly, I'm talking about dry cakes, bland soups and burnt chickens. They are boring too! I love lasagna, but sometimes I crave something more exotic, more international. The world is full of amazing food and each country has it's own style cuisine. I want to explore making all kinds of food, but keeping it simple at the same time. I know it can be done! There are tons of websites with thousands of recipes, but no guarantees. I think that by making a blog that only has a few tried and true recipes and plenty of introduction, explanation, commentary and pictures I can really help people that are in the position I was in. Bottom line; anyone can cook, I can help you... or we can help each other, remember I’m no pro. Here you will find the best and simplest recipes that I have personally tried and liked. Hope you enjoy!
