We're just two girls who love to cook. We're also both wives and mothers balancing home management, part-time work, church and community involvement, and a myriad of other things. So we're probably just like you! We want to show you that cooking at home can be a delicious, fun, and easy way to express yourself and to care for your families and friends.
We started our blog in March of 2008 and thanks to our loyal and wonderful readers, it has morphed into something bigger than we ever anticipated. And we love it.
I was born and raised in the Seattle area, and moved to Boise after marrying an Idaho boy. I attended Brigham Young University and earned a degree in Horticulture with an emphasis in Landscape Design. I love the outdoors and still squeeze in a little design when I have the time. I also love digital scrapbooking, photography, and reality tv (so sue me).Food and cooking have always been the at the center of my family. I grew up following my Mom around in the kitchen, and now I have 2 of my own little helpers (darn cute ones too!) I love cooking and baking and have a serious addiction to carbohydrates. My sweetie Eric is my best taste-tester and we love cooking and entertaining together. Well I love entertaining and he loves eating the food and he happily agrees to do the dishes as well. It works. He's also the official medical director of our kitchen (when he's off-duty providing the same service for the locals), which is a good thing, because as a certified klutz I have on more than one occasion needed serious medical care in the middle of my cooking adventures! We also both speak Portuguese and have lived in Brazil and that has definitely influenced my cooking style. (Just take a look at how much lime juice I use!)

I was raised in Logan, Utah and, much to the disappointment of my father who is a Ute and an Aggie, I also attended Brigham Young University where I majored in English. Which I have always said basically qualifies me to make sandwiches. Which I eat a lot of. I'm a mom to two kids, 4 and 1 (those are their ages, not their names) and wife to a guy who likes to play with toys. My husband is an engineer, so there are many "discussions" about how keys belong in one and only place and whether or not a construction level is necessary in the hanging of pictures.We are recent transplants to the South where apparently the mosquitoes missed the memo that they're supposed to be DEAD by December. I love food--cooking, eating, looking at it. I'll try anything once; I had a little squirrel stew after I moved to Louisiana! There are few foods I hate, but scrambled eggs I have to cook myself will trigger my gag reflex every single time.
