About ...

Howdy and welcome to my little corner of the kitchen!

I love to cook. I love to fiddle with recipes. I love to plan meals. I love to play with my kitchen toys. What can I say? I just love to create dishes that make my family beam.

And I'll be honest, I love to eat too.

But sometimes that love gets me in trouble.

In the past few months, we have begun to transform the way we eat. It hasn't been an easy transformation, but I am rediscovering the joy in my kitchen by checking out new dishes and finding ones that align with my new focus in the kitchen.

And as a bonus, we are seeing the difference where we most need to see it - on our waist lines!

I've been trying to find a word or phrase that best describes the changes we've made. It's not really "paleo." It's not exactly "South Beach." And it's not even really "low carb." But we have taken elements from all of these to get to some combination that works for our family. You won't find me hawking a particular life style on this blog. Instead, I'll post what has worked for us, and maybe it will help you out as well.

My vision for this blog is to share some of my go-to meals. But I will also share some recipes that were just plain fun and tasty, even if I wouldn't classify them as "go-to."

And I will probably share some of my all time favorites as well. Those we will just have to enjoy in moderation.

So I hope you enjoy hanging out on the kitchen with me. Hopefully we can all have a little fun and enjoy a few good eats along the way.
