Simple. Easy. Delicious.

Hello 2012!  So begins another year when so many of us will resolve to get fit, lose weight, and eat healthier.  However, I refuse to subscribe to some painfully boring or impossible diet craze (no-carb, low-carb, full-carb, smart-carb!).  I'm also not a fan of slaving away for hours in the kitchen, perfecting a béchamel.  I like food, I like carbs, and I like "my" time. 

My grandma taught me that easy recipes and simple, wholesome ingredients can create the most delicious meals.  I love to cook and I am seizing the opportunity to get back to my cooking roots!  The most memorable meals are the ones where the food stands out.  So join me as I forgo the box of au gratin potatoes to navigate some old family recipes, experiment with new ones, and create a few of my own along the way.  I'll be posting recipes, sharing meal and snack ideas for a busy work week, and tips on how to cut down on time in the kitchen, without sacrificing taste and health. 

My only rules are that the recipes be easy, the ingredients be simple, and the end results be delicious!
