About

Cooking is fun. Eating is funner. I cook, photograph and write these recipes. Everything I post on this blog I make from scratch using fresh wholesome ingredients.. I've been cooking since I was a little kid. My recipes are based on trial and error, along with studying cookbooks, family recipes, blogs and cooking shows. Some of the veggies and herbs I use are grown in my garden. Yay sustainability! I'm working on making my yard into an edible landscape. It's really fun to go out in the garden and pick your veggies for dinner! Besides cooking, gardening and photography, I also like to sew. Here are some items from my Etsy Shop:

Vegetable & Stars Soup This soup reminds me of being a kid in the midwest during the wintertime. We’d walk home from school at lunch, open a can of Alphabet soup, heat it on the stove, maybe garnish with a few saltines and devour it. Delicious! Then we’d watch cartoons until it was time to put our boots on and trudge back to school for the afternoon. Once school was out at the end of the day, we’d challenge death by “flipping” cars in the snow. In some places they call it “skitching”. It involves grabbing the back bumper of cars as they pass by, and sliding along the snow covered street on our feet. I can’t believe none of us ever got seriously injured doing that. It was really fun though, especially the not dying part. Do not let your kids read this blog post. Here’s how to make this super easy soup: Chop 1 small sweet onion and 2 cloves of garlic. Saute in a bit of olive oil until soft. Add 1/2 carton chicken or veggie stock, 1 large can of whole peeled tomatoes, blended, and 1 tblsp sugar. Season with salt and pepper. to taste. Add 1/2 bag of frozen mixed vegetables, (the kind that are chopped into a small dice). Once the soup starts to boil add 1/4 cup stars, alphabet noodles or any extra small pasta. Stir occasionally because the stars want to stick tot he bottom at first. Turn the heat down and simmer until everything is cooked. If your soup gets too thick while cooking, add extra chicken or veggie stock to thin it out. It’ill keep thickening up as the pasta cooks. This makes a nice dinner with garlic bread and salad.
