I am american but married to the most amazing man ever (who happens to be Saudi). I am in gradute school in the USA, but hoping to move overseas and start a family soon. I am adventerous and love trying to attempt at making things from all over the world and trying new stuff all the time. I am a huge fan of taking something simple like tomato soup and adding spices and stuff and attempting new flavors in things that are still easy to make. I orginally grew up in kansas so alot of "heartland" dishes like cassorales and meaty stews have always been tradition growing up. As a new married family though, we are still working on making our own. haha, if it is edible... it is a triumph when it is a new recipe. I havent had alot of pressure times to have to make something.... way too many to count all the failed recipes
