why i write

I love food. My mother instilled in me a love of cooking and I'm constantly trying to learn her fantastic ability to make up recipes and never measure. It's a gift, really. My grandmother is the one who taught me to show love through feeding people. It's such a simple gesture and I aspire to be a woman who always has a slice of pie or cookies when you drop by unexpectedly. I want to feed you, even when you say you're not hungry.

Given my history with cuisine, you might peg me for a meat and potatoes kinda gal, but you would be wrong. I am a wanna-be vegan living in the Midwest. Here, in the wheat belt, I live a vegetarian lifestyle and care deeply about where my food is grown and how it is cultivated. I love to support local growers and take care of the earth.

Join me in this culinary journey!

I also love tea, especially the kind that comes with wisdom on the tag.

Be Well,
M
