All About Me & Contact Information

I am Beth, and I live in a small town about fifty miles outside of St. Louis, Missouri. I married my high school sweetheart, and we have three beautiful children, an elderly one-eyed cat and two rascally beagle dogs, which I fondly refer to as rodents.

Hubby and I decided about seventeen years ago that we wanted to move away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and move out where the deer and the turkeys play. We still live in a subdivision, but the lots are huge, and everyone has big beautiful mature trees on their property. Everyone’s home looks different because we all had different contractors and designs in mind. We absolutely love living out here.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved to cook. My mom encouraged me by helping me make brownies, cookies, cakes, and candy. My love for cooking continued into my adult life, and as my family grew, I found a need and a desire to cook wholesome meals that I could really sink my teeth into. I like to feel good about the food I am serving my family and friends.

My husband and I also love to entertain friends and family. You will find a whole host of party appetizers, cocktails, and desserts. Holidays are very important to us, so there are lots of wonderful ideas and helpful tips for those special days as well.

Whenever possible, I use whole foods and not over-processed shortcuts that have been stripped of nutrients and are loaded with ingredients that I can’t even pronounce. Sometimes it means there might be a couple of extra steps to my recipes, but I like the idea of eating whole natural foods that come from nature.

I hope you enjoy your visit, and I hope you come back often to see what new delectable recipe I have created. Please join me on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram.
