GREETINGS!

About Amy

Hey there fellow food lovers!

If you’re anything like me, your favorite things in life are food and family, and sharing your love of both with the world

As a passionate home cook, there is nothing that I believe brings people together more than breaking bread with one another.

Food is love, food is medicine, food unites, food is magic! ❤️

Like many Gen-Xers, my food journey began as a kid experimenting out of pure necessity to feed myself when both parents were away at work the majority of meal times.   Those days we were at the mercy of whatever random items could be found in the pantry to concoct a meal. And just so you know, tuna salad nachos with swiss cheese melted on top is DELICIOUS LOL   😂😂  But yah there was lots of ramen, lots of pasta, lots of pancakes or french toast, Jiffy muffins, or the classic sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on buttered toast.  Oh, and let’s not forget english muffin pizzas! 

But once out on my own for the first time at 18, shopping any ingredients my heart desired, my food exploration exploded.  I spent the next few years trying anything and everything I could get my hands on. Experimenting with different flavors and seasonings on a tight budget makes you very creative.🤓 Researching recipes online was NOT easy in the early early days of internet, so you had to be resourceful. 

When I started my family, I had to grow and adjust even more to feeding an array of palettes, likes and dislikes, with a few picky eaters in the mix. Some times I discovered a new home run of a meal, and sometimes things just didn’t work and were tossed.  It was trial and error, sometimes trial by literal fire, and I loved every minute of it!  😊

Poke around the site, you’ll find a collection of my favorite recipes, from comforting classics to exciting new dishes I’ve discovered along the way. Come back often for new recipes posted or follow along on instagram for recipes there. I hope you love them as much as I do.  Cheers!
