I am a lover of all things food. Cooking it, thinking about it, talking about it, and of course eating it. Though I have never had any professional culinary training, I do like to consider myself an above average home cook. My husband eats everything though, so who really knows… I grew up with a mother who cooked from scratch, and consequently you’ll rarely find a box of pre-made anything in my kitchen. I love to try new recipes as well as create them myself!
We live in the Chicagoland area. The Husband and my boys are my master recipe-testers, but our dog gets the occasional taste as well.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you find something you like!

Right on Griff! I’m excited to try some of your delicious-looking creations! I grew up with a mother who made everything from pre-made stuff so I guess either upbringing can move one towards making everything from scratch eventually. I guess the fact that Phil is a pseudo-gourmet cook helps. I’m not sure I would have ended up being a “from-scratcher” if I hadn’t met him.
I do occasionally make one of mom’s old recipes to reminisce…but only when Phil’s not home
Yeah! Thanks for checking out my site Lauren. Hopefully between Phil and I, we’ll get you cooking. No shame in out of the box – we all need quick meal options too!
I love your about me page. I just saw your cinnamon buns and they look fab. Thanks for the tips. I just made some of these a few weeks ago and had a baking disaster when they did not rise. I think there was a problem with my yeast!. Thanks again. Bonnie
Thank you Bonnie! It’s usually always the yeast when there’s a problem… Love the view from your kitchen – amazing!
So cool. Love the site. Let’s get cooking!
