why?

I know what you're thinking... why in the world would I be starting a cooking blog when I'm a full time student with a husband and three children want to start a cooking blog and further her insanity by scheduling blog time? Simple- I love to cook, and I think it is so important for our children to eat home cooked meals, no matter how busy we are. It's important for us to have healthy food made with as much love as possible. It's important for our son to get food he can actually eat without worrying about his food allergies. And finally, it's important to eat, because we love food.

My sister was truly my inspiration here. She recently added another child to her family dynamic, and cooking definitely got a little more difficult in good old California. I view this as a good old recipe swap, without postage or a plane ticket...

So, enjoy some recipes, enjoy some pictures, and hopefully enjoy cooking!

(And while I have your ear, I would like to clarify the title of the post. I came up with this name, and then, voila, heard some annoying guy use it on the Food Network show "The Next Food Network Star." I did not get the name from him, nor am I rooting for him to win the show.)
