about me

I am a mom to one adorable little boy, Liam. He was born in 2006 at 2 pounds 8 ounces! Preemies are funny wee people...they tend to like really strong flavors. I love to try new recipes with things in them that he can eat. I have been married three years and am a nursing student. Although I am really busy, I am very committed to making homemade and healthy food for my little fam.

I do not have a favorite cookbook yet...I use several but love finding recipes online. I like cooking but LOVE to bake. For a few years now I have been trying different apple pie recipes out during the holidays...I make a few of each and then give them to people to see what they think. Why, why, why. I don't know but I can't stop!

I love going to the farmers market, reading (classics, Harry Potter, school books), swimming and roadtrips.

Favorite Foods:

I love to bake pies! I also love Indian food and have a great recipe that I made up for a coconut-curry chicken (with or without bamboo shoots and sometimes potatoes). I also love this strawberry salad with candied walnuts that I had the other day...it had a strawberry yogurt dressing with poppyseeds in it! Tasty! I also love vegetables and going to the farmers market.

My son (15 months) loves garlic mashed potatoes, pasta with olive oil and rosemarry, pumpkin with cinnamon, and squishy veggies (he still has no teeth) with butter and basil. His favorite fruit is watermellon. I am always trying to feed this child because he is still small for his age and what mom wouldn't when he started out at 2 and 1/2 pounds!
