About Me

Hello!

I'm Rachel. I am 32 years young and live in northern Virginia 

with my boyfriend and sweet little yorkipoo, Milli.

The most important thing you need to know about me though 

is that I love food. 

I love eating it, cooking it, thinking about it. 

I enjoy entertaining with it 

and it's one of the ways I show love to people I care about. 

I'm not a chef by any means, 

I haven't been to culinary school, 

but I've developed such a love for food 
through learning about it informally 
and from, well, eating throughout my life. 

My journey to this blog has been fun & interesting. 

I've been cooking since I was young, 

watching and assisting my mom in the kitchen.

I became addicted to Food Network in college 

and that took my love of learning about food 

and cooking to a whole new level. 

I've broadened my horizons & palate a lot over the years,

and I feel like that has opened up a whole new 
love and appreciation 

for food, eating, and entertaining. 

While I am a vegetarian 

(well, more of a lacto-ovo pescetarian 
if you want to get technical), 

I don't feel like that limits me very much. 

I do cook meat for my friends and family on a regular basis

 and I've also been known to cook vegan dishes for friends, 

as well as low sodium for my dad. 

My cooking is kind of all over the board 

because I know there is more than one way to enjoy food 

and I want to consider everyone's ideas and diets. 

This blog is a way to share my love & interest 
in all of these things. 

Thanks for visiting and I hope you keep coming back! 

Let me know what you think in the comments section.

Salute!
