Welcome to my not-so-blog blog! If you’re here for regular content with stylized photos, you will surely be disappointed. While I don’t have any grand “influencer” intentions and I’m terrible at keeping up with this thing, I do want to have a place to capture some of my favorite recipes, keep track of details from my travels, and document my adventures. If friends and family enjoy it along the way then that’s just peachy!
I started this as a kitchen blog to have a way to keep track my recipes, provide myself with inspiration when meal-planning, and to have a place for my mom to go when she asked me for the 10358701 time for my recipe for chicken lettuce wraps (love you mom!)
A while later, my sister (and fellow travel lover) encouraged me to document my local and far-away adventures so I added that to the blog (albeit inconsistently). I get busy and neglect the blog for long periods of time, but I’m vowing to do better!
My two greatest passions in life are food and travel, and they intersect a lot more than you’d think. I take great pride in where I come from and the regional food and culture here. I also love to experience other places and cultures, especially through food. My favorite way to both cook and travel is locally! I love to cook with locally sourced food, visit local farms, support locally-owned small business, learn from local tour guides, and have local experiences. The best way to travel is as the locals do! Chain restaurants and tourist traps are my personal nightmares so I put an extensive amount of effort in researching and planning my travels in order to leave a place feeling like I truly got to know it, it’s people, and it’s food.
Please pardon the typos and spelling mistakes – I write like I cook!
