Hi!  I'm Monica, adjusting to the newlywed life with my husband Aaron and my two cats Diva and Oliver. Along with all of the changes that comes with marriage, I've had to change my eating habits dramatically (Apparently Taco Bell and McD's just won't cut it for the hubby).  I decided to jump in head first into the world my grandmother knew well.  Hopefully a little bit of Nana will shine though in my adventures (or misadventures) of cooking.

I've started slow in purchasing a few cook books.  After a few days of pouting and eyebatting, Aaron has purchased the Martha Stewart Baking Handbook to add to my small collection.  I should be getting it in the mail today!

Good luck and don't get discouraged. Misadventures in the kitchen turn into good stories later. Happy cooking!

Anything with a starch.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My sister and I enjoy cooking anything we learned from my grandmother....including her awesome Texas chocolate sheet cake
My cooking triumphs
I celebrate any meal I don't manage to burn
My cooking tragedies
replacing salt instead of sugar in a dewberry cobbler. Yum. Starting a fire boiling water....takes talent!
