about me

Hello, My name is Monica and I am a 33 year old, happily married mom of 2. After working as a project manager for many years, I currently am a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful daughter Hannah who is 6 years old,& our sweet son Liam who is almost 2. I love being home with them! We just moved to IL from San Diego, CA and getting used to be in a whole new part of the country. I am a Navy wife of almost 15 years. It is an adventurous, fun, sometimes stressful life but we are proud to be a Navy family in service of our country.
Cooking is one of my passions. I could sit down and read recipes like I would a regular novel. I would say I am more of a recipe gatherer rather than a recipe orginator. I do tweak things a lot to suit my families taste, but other than that I rely on recipes for ideas and technique. I find most of my own recipes have been posted in some form or another here, but I look forward to having more to add in the future.
I am an avid baker and also love international foods. Being half Thai, I love Thai food and have gotten my family to learn to appreciate it as well.

Favorite Foods:

I'll try anything once! Thai and Mediterranean are my favorites right now though having just gotten here in IL I am developing a fondness for the wonder that is the Chicago dog. I'll stick with NY style pizza over the deep dish stuff though
