I'm obsessed with trying new recipes and finding creative ways to feed my fiancé and myself. I always give Clint the prettier plate of food when I'm serving up a meal, but he isn't allowed to dig in until I've gotten my perfect pic! Lighting and a good filter can make a normal week night meal look absolutely delectable. (Gotta love that Mayfair filter!) So, since I have been posting tons of pictures on Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat, I decided to start a blog to share my adventures in the kitchen as I try my hand at being a domestic goddess (I have a ways to go before I come close to Giada or Ree... but a girl can try). Other than bragging about my masterpieces in the kitchen, I kind of just want to start keeping a catalogue of my favorite dishes.

I'm also a new mommy to the happiest baby in the world, Bodie Luke. Although he can't try my culinary creations just yet, I'm sure I'll be whipping up some smooshed veggies and fruits for him in the next few months. Smooshed is a word... get over it.

So what kind of food do I like to make? A little bit of everything. Mostly healthy meals, but I can be bad too. I mean bacon literally makes everything better. I grew up on chicken fingers and biscuits and gravy, but unfortunately my metabolism is almost 30 years old... which makes me sad... and makes me eat more kale than I would have 15 years ago. Low calorie meals can be yummy too though! It's all about balance!

So thanks for reading, and I hope you love my recipes. Some are original and some are semi-original. When I decide what I want to make, I like to look up about 10 recipes, pick the best parts, add them together, take out what I don't like, and tweak them until it's perfect! (Or until I can justify leaving out ingredients that I don't have in my kitchen... or adding bacon. Did I mention I love bacon?) The most important part is that it's delicious, but it's ALWAYS nice to have a pretty plate.
