About Me

My name is Christina and I'm a 20something, happily married, food obsessed freak. I've only been cooking for about three years. When I was about to get married, I realized there were only a few things I knew how to cook- anything that came from a box and scrambled eggs. That wasn't going to cut it! I started watching the Food Network religiously, falling in love with Giada De Laurentiis, who made cooking look so relaxing and effortless. I watched her every single day. By the time I got married I knew how to make chicken parmesan, chicken milanese, lasagna, and spaghetti and meatballs. Still, I proceeded to learn more and more.

So proud of my turkey!

My love for cooking goes hand in hand with my love for food. I like to eat well and I like to enjoy what I eat. I try my best to steer clear of prepackaged foods and make many things from scratch and use fresh, whole ingredients as often as I can. Who wants to eat bad food? Not me. Not you. And neither does my husband. My biggest supporter, he has tried every single thing I've set down in front of him. Burned pancakes, weird pizza combinations, raw chicken (he noticed before he ate it, don't worry), and crumbly cookies. Thanks for putting up with me and all my kitchen endeavors. :)

Christmas 2010

My little family

I started this blog so that I could share the recipes that I try out in my kitchen. Whenever I find a new recipe I am anxious to see what the end result will be. Am I going to love it or hate it? Is it going to be good enough to make again? I only post the recipes that I would make again and again.
