About

The development of this blog came about organically.  The idea was born about a year and a half ago when my boss at work asked me to be her “food angel.”  She had just had her second baby and was having a hard time finding the time to cook healthy, delicious meals for her family.  She asked me because she knew that being a dietitian, I had a love of food and a knowledge of healthy ingredients.  Because I had little experience cooking, I agreed to work as a personal chef for her family on a trial basis.   This quickly developed into a weekly gig that has benefited me equally, if not more than her family.  I have enjoyed expanding my horizons as a cook and having the opportunity to experiment with many new ingredients and recipes.  (Note: I use recipes from a variety of cookbooks, food blogs and websites and have not yet developed into the type of cook that creates recipes on my own).

I do all of my cooking on Sundays.  It usually takes the whole entire day but is worth it when I have meals already prepared for myself during the week. I found that people were always asking me what I was cooking so I started posting the names of my recipes on Facebook.  From that, I got tons of requests for the actual recipes… so here I am.   A food blog seemed inevitable.  I was hesitant at first because of the time commitment.  I read a lot of amazing food blogs and feel that I really don’t have the time to invest to write as descriptively or photograph my food as beautifully as the bloggers I admire do.  So, I really just created this blog as a place to post my recipes.  When I have time I will write about my experiences making these recipes.  I may even include some photographs.  But I am making no commitments.  I might even have poor grammar.  I tend to be pretty exhausted after 6-8 hours of cooking.  So sorry it isn’t pretty  but here goes….
