Welcome to our magical little space where food is the hero of our story! We are ready to take you on a journey of culinary discovery, filled with amazing recipes, tips, and tricks that will leave your taste buds tingling with excitement.

I love food, I love food so much that I usually wake up and start asking what is for dinner or what you want for dinner. I am the type of person who is consistently thinking about food or talking about food. Just ask my husband! Now that I am a stay home mom and have a family I don’t want to make any more sad beige meals so I am taking the time to create more vibrant meals and recipes. Who says staying home that you have to eat potatoes and corn all the time… (I grew up in the Midwest if you couldn’t tell)

Growing up, our cooking was nothing to write home about; we were always the ones who unintentionally spiced our meals with too much humor and teasing. But as we grew older, and our love for cooking blossomed, we discovered that with a little patience, creativity, and fresh, quality ingredients, we could turn our once-teased meals into lip-smacking meal masterpieces! Something our Italian and Mexican ancestors would be proud of!

So, how did we manage to do this, you ask? Through trial and error, and a willingness to keep learning and improving. And now, with this blog, we aim to share our knowledge, joy, and love for cooking with fellow food enthusiasts who may be struggling to find their footing in the kitchen! I want to create experiences that will teach us that cooking is not just about following directions, but rather a journey of self-discovery and growth. We believe that cooking can be a really enjoyable adventure, and with the right guidance, anyone can whip up a delicious meal that will not only satisfy their hunger but also bring smiles to the faces of those they love.

So, buckle up, and join us as we dive into a world of endless possibilities where every meal has a story to tell! Welcome to our food haven – where deliciousness reigns!
