September 12, 2010...Today is the day I’ve started to make my mark and dive into the world of blogging. I have been a blog follower for a couple of years now and have wanted to start my own but just wasn’t sure what I would write about. Before I divulge that information to you let me give you a little background on me.
Five years ago this month I decided to move myself, my Ford Focus, my overflowing suitcase of clothes, personal belongings, and what little hand me down furniture I had to the warm state of North Carolina, more specifically the city of Charlotte. I had just graduated college earlier that year in May and was living at home for the summer wondering what was to be the next step in my life. It was a big leap, knowing only a few people here, moving 1,000 miles away from my family and friends who...I was for most of my life only a car ride away. Now I would be more like a plane ride away. In the beginning it was hard but eventually I formed a niche for myself in Charlotte, gaining many new friendships, learning my way around the busy streets of what we call the Queen City, and just becoming a grownup. I missed home a lot but one thing that I could always depend on to comfort me was spending time in the kitchen, cooking and baking. I think anyone would agree the center of a home is the kitchen and it’s where I’ve made many fond memories.
With this blog I hope to share with you my favorite recipes and stories starting from when I was just a few years old to what inspires me today and beyond. I also love going out to eat whether it’s to an old favorite or trying some place new. I’ll be sharing those stories here as well. I usually try to make a recipe my own so at times I will be tweaking ingredients and steps to my liking. Just like life, this blog is all about trial and error so I hope you enjoy reading my stories and following along on my journey.
