My name is Emily and I’m a web designer living in Virginia with my boyfriend, Brandon, and three neurotic cats. After years of eating out for the majority of the week and rarely cooking, I finally got to the point where I just did not want to step foot in one more restaurant. I was tired of the unhealthy food, the money wasted and it was finally motivation enough to get me back to my kitchen.
I started this site as a way to chronicle this new part of my life (and hopefully help me stick to it), but also to be able to share recipes and tips with others and hopefully learn new things. I’m also an amateur photographer, so this has given me a wonderful new outlet for that as well.
I’m not a gourmet. I’m a very picky eater. I love Top Chef, but I’d probably only eat half of what those guys come up with. However, I’m trying very hard to expand my horizons and eat healthier and more of a variety of foods.
I have always been partial to baking, but I really don’t need the excuse to make more desserts, so I’ll be sharing a variety of recipes, sometimes healthy, sometimes not. I’m more concerned about food that tastes good and is simple to make. I do try to stay away from very high fat/calorie foods, but I have to splurge sometimes (especially around the holidays)! Check out my Recipe Index for a categorized listing of all the recipes I’ve posted so far.
I welcome your comments, suggestions, etc, so please feel free to comment or send me an email.
