About Me

Hello and Welcome to My Blog

I am an aspiring chef looking to take my home cooked meals to the next level!

Throughout my childhood, I remember being in the kitchen next to my mom helping her with whatever was for dinner that night. I used to have the “got get this,” “stir the soup,” “set the table” job. It took some time before my mom let me start to peel potatoes or chop the carrots, but I got there. Eventually, I worked my way up to being next to her in the kitchen helping to taste and perfect the seasoning in the meal we were having. I always loved the time in the kitchen with my mom because it was not only a way to hang out with my mom, but a way for me to discover food. 

It wasn’t until I started dating my husband that I had to take cooking into my own hands. We started off by eating a lot of eggs and breakfast food. We worked our way up little by little until we were preparing weekly meals for ourselves so we didn’t have to cook throughout the week. Finally, my husband and I moved in together, so we now had the responsibility of cooking every meal. I quickly fell in love with my kitchen, my kitchen supplies, and most importantly, I fell in love with food.

Cooking has become my escape from everyday stressors. It is a way for me to relax, unwind, and discover new flavors. I love getting lost in searching for the perfect recipe, turning flour into bread, and breathing in the beautiful smell when something is in the oven. I want to use this blog to document my progress as a home cook, share what I learn, and spread great recipes.

Thank you for reading and supporting my journey!
