Welcome

I am a small town gal trying to make footprints in Columbus, Ohio. I moved about a year ago from the northeast corner of Ohio to further my education at Ohio State (Go Bucks!!). I am blessed to have grown up on a farm with my parents and five siblings! One of the biggest impacts on my life since I can remember has been food, and more specifically cooking. As I got older I always had a desire to explore my passions for cooking with other people! 

My biggest motivation in this 'blog' is to grown as my own person! I'll be sharing my favorite recipes, my travels, and the best spots to eat when I'm on them. I have struggled for years to become a more adventurous eater, so my goal is for this to help me push aside the pickiness and love ALL foods!

Whether you've been cooking all your life or are just starting to learn - I hope to inspire all of my readers to make time for cooking! Not only is it healthier to eat in, it also is such a good way to bond with yourself. Managing a job and school is tough, but setting time aside to cook for myself and my six roommates gives me some time to just relaxxx (as crazy as that sounds). 

I hope this gave you a little pinch of who I am and I can't wait to share more!

Enjoy, xx.

another sneak peak at me - Here are some of my favorite spices, ingredients, kitchen tools, etc.! 

Ingredients + Spices - garlic, rosemary, olive oil, potatoes, basil, salt, lemons, crushed red pepper, butter, Old Bay seasoning

Kitchen Tools - food processor, mandolin, whisk, crock pot, cutting board, 9x13 stone bakeware

These are all basic kitchen and cooking essentials, but they still deserve some spotlight. I probably use four or more of these every time I cook, so they are not under appreciated!
