Hi there!

This first year of marriage has been a lot of self discovery. One of those discoveries is a deep rooted love of cooking that is simple and delicious. Honestly if there's more than 8 steps you've already lost me. I have found that baking bread is a huge favorite! I was given a stand a lone Kitchenaid mixer by my sweet husband and I love it, you'll see it featured in a lot of the recipes I use for baking.

Another discovery is that I don't really like wasted food in any capacity whether it's leftovers or fixing's for meals. We have started our own composting here at the house and have really enjoyed that. My husband is an avid gardener who is constantly trying out new things he's never grown before, so those things will also make an appearance in my recipes.

Last but not least I discovered I HATE/LOATHE cleaning. Ever fiber of my being rebels against it. (Ok so this one isn't a new discovery but I swore that there was a magic "wife" button that got pushed when I got married that would make housework like it is in disney movies. Sadly no... it's not true and it's just as horrible as it was before.) I have learned so many new ways to make things smell fresh, for rooms to get cleaned faster, for organization to happen easier, and for my life to feel less crazy on the home front.

So here's what I decided to do... this page and my new website aren't just for you guys to learn cool stuff with me it's for me to keep my new ideas straight. I will add something and probably later find something better but I wanted a quick database that I could use to organize these thoughts. I am also always open for suggestions stated well and with politeness! I love learning from others. So please if you have anything you'd like to add, do!
