Hello

Well hello all. Come on and cook with me as I cook my way through life. I get through life one day at a time.  Sometimes I am lavash and other days I just want to break down and cry. 

So I suppose you want to know a little about me first.  I am a regular girl from all over.  I recently moved to Washington from my beloved state of Montana for numerous reasons, but mostly because of family.  I love horseback riding, hiking, camping, fishing, photography is my sidekick, and recently I have become the proud owner of a therapy dog.  But mostly, I want to make a difference in whatever small way I can, if I can.  I want to show the kindnesses that others have bestowed upon me and pay it forward.  It hasn't been easy for me, I have lost a lot of loved ones in my shorter life (yikes I am not 30).  My best friend was the hardest, she was my hero, my inspiration my bosom friend (as they say in Anne of Green Gables).  We were going to grow old and raise our kids together, they were going to be best friends just like us.  It just didn't work out that way.  So here I am, cooking because it is what I know how I do and what I love.  I love sitting in the kitchen figuring out my menu for the week, and smelling the food as it melds together in mouthwatering fashion.  I love shopping for ingredients, the smell of fresh food from the farmers market.  The nutrients going into my body, and mostly seeing others smile over the good food they were served.  So here we go through some bumbled recipes they call life.  Cheers!
