So what’s cooking here?

Is it enough to say delicious stuff? Yeah, probably not. Ok then, I love to cook and eat simple, seasonal, and tasty food.

I love spending time in the kitchen, cooking and baking, enjoying the best of every season whether it’s cozy winter comfort food or summer meals on the grill. I eat all the foods except, of course, the ones I don’t like (looking at you, olives!).

I try to keep a healthy balance, indulging in some foods less often than others. I try to follow the idea of “Eat real food, not too much, mostly plants.” Truth be told, I struggle with the “mostly plants” part. It doesn’t come naturally to me, but I’m working on it 🙂 #FoodGoals

So you’ll find a bit of everything here seasonal and healthy; hearty and comforting; sometimes a little sinful… but always real food, done delicious.

A bit more about the cook and her resident taste-testers

I am a home cook, schooled by trial and error and many years of getting dinner on the table. I also love to eat delicious food which is probably my biggest motivation for cooking 🙂 I’ve learned that eating well doesn’t have to take lots of time, money, or fancy ingredients. If I’m making it myself, in my own kitchen, from good, fresh ingredients, I’m already a good part of the way to eating well.

I have been married for many years and am the mother of two grown children. Our kids have left the nest, so we’re adjusting to being empty nesters. While I’m “cooking for two” a lot these days, I still remember what it’s like to feed a family so I try to add family-friendly tips when I can.

My husband is a “meat and potatoes” kind of guy. Over the years, he’s come around to the idea that not every meal has to include meat and potatoes. I’m thankful for that because I love to explore new flavors.
