Saturday afternoon I was completely speechless, surprised, and shocked.  I think by the look on my face everyone would agree!  Let me start from the beginning..... A few months ago Marianne had decided she had so much fun at the Vegas Round Up she would host another So Cal gathering.  When she… MORE

First off I need to thank Marianne, Patty Cakes and Baking Nana for pulling off such a wonderful get together!  I haven't had that much fun with a group of lovely ladies like that in a long time.  Baking Nana offered her beautiful home and opened her heart....it wouldn't have been a success… MORE

I met with my dad on Friday.  It had been a week and I knew I needed to talk to him.  We went to a neat little sushi bar, we ordered two large Saporos, and I dove right in. I said, "Dad, I've been thinking a lot the last week.  I recieved some really good advice and was actually able to… MORE

When Tim proposed it felt like everything was going to be ok and FINALLY something went right for us.  I haven’t picked a date yet, I’m enjoying this feeling too much to do anything else at the moment!  When I told my mom she almost cried…..actually I think I did see some tears.  Ha ha ha  And MORE

Tim and I rented a house together after the miscarriage and continued on making a life together.  We talked about waiting to have a child for a little longer until we were more stable.  We wanted to concentrate on us and building our relationship.  We had a great time around the holidays with o MORE

Where do I start?  This is my first blog.....EVER.  Please bare with me.  I’ve had some life changing experiences over the last few years and I feel the need to share them....so fair warning….this won’t be food related. In November of 2007 I started dating the man that I will eventually marry. MORE

About Me
I live with my hubby and we share our house with our "furry" kids, 2 cats and a very lovable dog. We just got married in Sept of 2011 so its been a very busy year for us so far! And to top things all off we're in the middle of a renovation! Whew! I love to cook, it relaxes me and helps me focus, kinda like a good book! I love to make a mess but hate cleaning it up.
My favorite things to cook
Its always evolving and forever changing! I've found I have a knack for finding really great appetizers for special events and I'd rather cook than bake. I love pairing cheeses with wine and having people over to try them. Lately I've gotten into infused olive oils and LOVE them. Basil olive oil brushed on grilled pizza dough is wonderful!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My great grandmother was from Germany and made some amazing dishes. The two I remember helping her with the most were her meat balls and German chocolate cake. I can't wait for my husband and I to start our own family and make some of our own traditions.
My cooking tragedies
Definitely have had my share!
