ME: born and raised in California...taker of pictures, cooker of food, lover of all things LIFE
MY MAN: born and raised in Brazil... doer of anything active, speaker of two languages, pretty much the most amazing person I know
OUR FOOD: a handful of Brazil tossed into this American world we live in, just like our life
I have discovered it doesn't matter if I am making a casserole or some feijao e arroz; something else American or some other Brazilian dish... they may be different, but they all taste a little better with a clove of garlic and a pinch of salt.
Maybe they aren't that different after all...

THIS BLOG: originally a place to just record my journey of learning how to cook, presently a place to connect with others -- like YOU!
A little bit more about me...
- Born and raised in the Golden State. California owns my heart.
- Lived off and on in Palau and the rest of Micronesia throughout college. Yeah, you probably don't know where that is... it's OK, most people don't.
- I talk. A lot. And I really have no plan of changing that anytime soon.
- Red-painted toes are happy toes.
- I spend my days loving on third and fourth graders, and they spend their days filling my heart with more love to give.
And for my food...
- I grew up eating Kraft Mac n' Cheese, Rica-a-Roni, and TV dinners. And lots and lots of cookies.
- At some point I decided I needed to make a change, and so I bought Rachael Ray Everyday. It lived on my shelf next to the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook until one day I started using them... that's when this blog was born.
- Today we eat mostly homemade food, buy very little that comes pre-made, and I like to buy veggies in all shapes and colors.
- Preservative free and artificial flavoring/colors free is the way to go in our house, so Trader Joe's is one of my best friends.
- I am still learning to like fruit.
