I am a 32-year-old Midwestern gal, and the loving mother to two adorable Dachshunds. I love hot dogs, traveling, recycling, and socializing with friends. And I love eating, of course.
I started this blog originally as an easy way to share recipes with friends, but it’s grown into so much more. In the last 2 years since I have started writing this blog, I’ve been growing in the kitchen, and I have finally learned how to enjoy cooking, when it used to be viewed as nothing more than a chore to me. I was laid off in June of 2010, and the newfound free time on my hands has enabled me to further grow and experiment in the kitchen. Not to mention I have met so many great people who have let me cook their recipes and share them on my blog. I encourage you to go through the archives, there is so much in there that may have been missed. Comments and feedback are encouraged and appreciated.
I am also very passionate for the environment and am learning how to incorporate environmental living into my cooking. I will be sharing some of this information with my readers. I hope that I can make a small difference into how people view their environmental impact and how they, too, can make a difference.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy my blog!

Is your friend Kika from Brunico near Cortina?
If so I am an old friend from California who wuld love to contact her.
I am not sure, my friend Kika grew up in Milan, Italy, and has lived in Florida for the last decade as well…
Wow! How weird it is to read another blog with the same template. I can tell that we have similar taste preferences in addition to the similarities you mentioned in your comment on my blog. I can’t wait to dive into your archives. Thanks for saying hi!
Thanks for coming by, I am so excited to have met you! Oh, I am also 5’4″!
Emily – Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Yes, we moved to Omaha about 12 1/2 years ago – my husband works for ConAgra Foods. I thought we would be here about 3 years… but we love it. Omaha is a great city for family. I do miss family and friends and TEXAS -we visit Texas a couple of times a year. The only thing I don’t like about Omaha is the 12 hour drive to Texas. We live in West Omaha – near Elkhorn.
I look forward to visiting your blog more often – fun stuff!
Take care! Happy Fall!
Susan
