Welcome – and thanks for visiting. I hope you’ll enjoy your time with me as I share favorite recipes, cooking ideas, shopping tips, and anything else food-related. My “training” resulted from the endless hours I spent in and around the kitchen growing up. Good times, not-so-good times, it didn’t matter. We always had a home-cooked meal and I was always right in the middle of it!
I’ll write about shopping smart and turning leftovers into delightful new creations. I’ll share ideas on dishes that can be made ahead and placed in the freezer to ensure a hot healthy meal after a long day at work.
I believe everyone can enjoy home-cooked meals at a fraction of the cost of going out – and feel good about what you’re doing for yourself and others in the process! Food is a great way to share a part of yourself – and it doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive.
Join me on this adventure with food! Let’s learn from each other and inspire one another to try something new. I hope this blog provides information and tips on making your every day meals extra special and I hope my passion inspires you to enter the wonderful world of preparing home-cooked meals that are tasty and delicious, easy to prepare, and cost effective.
This blog is dedicated to my mother, Carmella, who inspired my love for food and cooking, and to whom I owe much of my ability in the kitchen. She taught me to live well – and eat well – and continues to inspire me today! Thanks, Mom, for always letting me be me.
