The Start

Welcome and Greetings! I am very excited to have a place where I can focus on food. My friends who have gotten random "I've come up with a new recipe" emails will probably also be happy for a cleaner inbox. As a little intro, my husband and I started our relationship with Hamburger Helper and have since transitioned (albeit slowly) to making things from scratch. I make about 95% or more of our food from scratch and I love it. Less ingredients, fewer calories, more flavor. This huge change in our lifestyle has come from many sources - being at one point too poor to eat meat at every meal, the Doctrine & Covenants Section 89 (better known as the Word of Wisdom), and a desire to simplify our lives. This blog will be where I post new recipes, talk about wonderfully yummy food we eat at restaurants, and whatever food or nutrition questions I am thinking through.
