A Vegetarian Cooking Blog
The art of keeping a "scrap cookbook" has been passed down by the women in my family. I learned from both my granny and my mom. A scrap cookbook is essentially a scrapbook for your kitchen. A place to keep favorite recipes, ones you plan to try in the future, and ones given to you by friends and family. It is also a place to stash cooking guides, kitchen tips, recipe adjustments, food gift ideas, etc., and to make notes about food-related happenings, (ie: "Baked these cookies for the holidays and everyone freaked their freak!"). This blog is essentially an electronic version of my scrap cookbook.
I am a just a vegetarian girl who loves to cook and who is often asked to share recipes or provide advice as to good sources for recipes. Since I'm big on the procrastination celebrations, and typically never end up getting recipes to people, I decided to start this blog as exercise in self-discipline and a way to keep all my cooking and kitchen stuff in one place.
My intrigue with all things culinary began in my Granny’s kitchen at a very young age. I fully believe that you learn the most about cooking from others, so I hope that is the case as you peruse my blog.
Thanks for reading, and enjoy! ♥
