New to this...

So, I have never done a blog before. Let me start out by saying, "I'm sorry." I may be an excellent cook, but I am not a great photographer. So my pictures may make the food look like something you would rather throw out.

Let me give you a little background. I grew up in Illinois, in a suburb of Chicago. I really never cooked until my family moved into a house that had the best kitchen ever. That started my obsession. A few years later we moved to Kentucky where a whole new world of culinary magic was introduced to me.

I started cooking and canning and planning giant dinners for our church. I started cooking with venison (ew) and making pickles. Life changed for me...some people still can't believe the "pioneer woman" I have turned into.

In our house we have some serious allergy issues. My son and my husband both have Celiac disease, so this makes cooking a little difficult at times. I am also seriously allergic to seafood of any kind, but the boys love fish. I am not going to claim to be a gluten-free master. I will post recipes with gluten-free alternatives if I feel like it. Most of the time I make two dinners...

I love to cook. I love to share my food. I am hoping this is a way to do that. Please feel free to leave comments, try the recipes and let me know what you think!
