Hi! my name is Beth. I'm a Mom that works full time outside of my home, and I'm pretty obsessed with food. I don't think there is anything better than cooking a great meal from scratch and enjoying it with the ones you love.  I'm all about natural, whole foods, but I add in the bad stuff from time to time to keep it fun. I work in a non food-related career, but after work, a home-cooked meal is always on the agenda. Along with some quality family time, and a glass of Malbec...

I have no formal training, but I can promise you that I have developed skills through family and friends (and lots of research) that has helped me create some yummy recipes, and I've worked pretty hard at it over the years.

My husband and I were married in early 2011, and grew into a family of three (actually 5 - if you count our two fur babies) in November 2011, when we welcomed little Kenley into our lives. She is the best thing that we have ever done, and has changed everything for the better.

Since then, cooking and creating new recipes has become less of a priority, but we are working on getting back into a good routine with easy shortcuts for busy families. I hope to inspire home cooks to get back in the kitchen, enjoy taking their time making homemade meals, and have their families sit down together for dinner. 

I started this blog at the end of 2009, so that I could showcase some of the recipes I make at home for my little family and for our friends. Thanks for stopping by for some dinner ideas and seeing what our family is up to!
