Welcome to my recipe blog! A recent newlywed, along with many of my friends, I had been getting requests to start a blog on dishes I make in the kitchen for me and my hubby. I hope this blog helps any wife, husband, newlywed or single person and inspires them to get down and dirty in the kitchen and cook with all the passion you have inside of you.
XOXO
