Welcome!

You may have heard the phrase "Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often". Well in out home it's a little more like "Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often, and EAT!". I'm a stay at home mom and wife and I love to cook and bake! I've finally decided to start a recipe blog of some of my favorite recipes and creations. Mangia!
