About me

Hey there!  I'm Katie.  I will pretty much eat anything if it has spinach and bacon in it; top it off with a glass of wine and I couldn't be happier. 

​

I come from a family of amazing cooks, and I'm on a journey to become one of them.  Before my senior year of high school everything seemed impossible, no joke .. Kraft mac & cheese, Campbell's tomato soup, Koolaid ... only miserable attempts.  Pizza rolls were my saving grace until Mom came home and cooked up something fabulous.  I've come a long way since then.

 

I believe cooking is a skill, if you don't use it you'll never get better at it.  You start to get a feeling, to get more comfortable with cooking, and that is when the magic happens.  I hope you enjoy my journey. 

​

This page became a reality when I panicked because my favorite chili recipe disappeared from a Pinterest board.  I don't know if I'm the only one who has faced this, but I think I've"saved" the recipe by pinning it & suddenly discover the website is no longer available.  I don't notice until I need the recipe ... usually the night I'm cooking for guests.  Lucky for me, the hubs is a technical guru/superior problem solver, so he created me a blog.  Now I can control my own destiny.
