I’m just a Midwest gal who loves to cook and eat, especially mashed potatoes, bacon, cheese, chili, and pizza. Don’t judge me. Despite being a glutton, I’m also passionate about local, fresh organic meats and produce and incorporating those healthier options into my meals as often as I can. However, sometimes you just have to bust out the Velveeta, you know? I love wearing aprons, high heels, pearls, and lipgloss. Yes, I’m pretty sure I would have completely rocked as a 1950′s housewife. My hope is that you will salivate, learn something new, giggle, and/or be inspired in some way.

Hi
I love your style of writing and of course the recipes. I made the sausage gravy and was a big hit.
Thank you Michael! I’m glad the sausage gravy was a hit!
Awesome recipe’s and an all around awesome sight. People could learn a lot from you. I know that I have.
I didnt know you had this till you posted it on facebook the other day. I told Adam I wanted to be your best friend so I could cook and bake as good as you. lol. I get overwhelmed when it comes to cooking. Especially if its something I have have never made before. My heart breaks when I make something and it turns out crappy. But I think I am going to start trying out some of your recipes!
Awwwesome! Yes, I think when I post my recipes to Facebook most people think I’m just posting recipes from someone else’s blog but surprise, it’s me!
I’m working on a Facebook Fan Page. I hope you like the recipes. I loved cooking and believe me, I’ve made many crappy recipes over the years but I think the more you cook the more you can look at a recipe and know how to tweak it to fit your taste, etc.
