hello from the kitchen

There are only two options: you are here by accident or because you read our family blog. Either way, I am happy to have anyone here. Mostly I am happy that I am here. This blog is just for me and it's about my life. Yes, you may have guessed from the title, I live in my kitchen. It's where I cook, plan, eat, clean, serve, and talk. I love to read calm and casual cooking blogs. I don't like all the hype and I don't like things complicated. This will be a simple record of recipes I love and recipes I've never tried before. It will display pictures of my family enjoying or hating the food I cook. It will be a log of my successes and failures as I try to take care of my family's most basic needs. Most of all, it is an experiment. So in a couple of months I may reread this introductory post and laugh because I created a very different animal than the one I set out to make. Oh well. My family will still be fed. We'll keep it simple and see where that takes us.
