Welcome!

Hi there!
First I will tell you a little bit about myself, I am a former member of Corporate America, who due to circumstances out of my control became a stay at home mom about a year ago, In that time I have been able to rediscover my passion for all things home making; most notably cooking.

So this blog is born! Yes, I plan to have this be mostly about cooking, baking, recipe creation, and trials and fails, but being that my day is consumed by two beautiful toddlers I am sure that there will be several anecdotal stories thrown in, since let's be honest, my job is my kids :).

As far as my other plans for this "place",  I plan to share some of my favorite recipes, as well as the creations that have been born out of a need for easy yet yummy recipes that not only please my foodie palate, but my Husband, our somewhat picky 2 year old, and our 1 year old who will gobble down just about anything I put in front of him, as well. 

I have a love (eh, who am I kidding have an addiction) to pasta, however, having a Husband who is a meat and potatoes kind of guy, I need to change it up most of the time.  Don't let me fool you, I do not cook every night, however I do try to make a home cooked meal 3 to 4 days a week and one large family dinner on the weekend.  With that being said, I don't believe that you need to spend hours in the kitchen to create a "gourmet" meal or even just a tasty meal, nor do you need to be a chef to create either of those, and with two little ones to chase after that isn't even a possibility most days. 

I LOVE my crock pot, and find that is the easiest way to keep my sanity On Mondays and Fridays, so those will probably be the recipes I post on those days, I cannot promise to post a meal idea every day, But I will try and post most days.  and I would love to hear what you would like to see as well (gluten free, Diet friendly, easy, One pot, few steps, freezer friendly, etc.).

So welcome to my kitchen, I hope you enjoy your time here and I look forward to sharing my love of all things food with you!
