Greetings!

Hello home cooks, and thank you for stopping by!

My name is Jillian.  I created this blog to document my culinary wanderings and to share some of my more brilliant creations with you lovely readers.  I work full time and lead a busy life, but cooking is nevertheless a big part of my life.  I like to eat right, and I love using fresh ingredients.  My meals tend to be simple and have bold flavors.  I love entertaining, so here you will find a wide variety of recipes, from beverages and party snacks to desserts and everywhere in between.  I hope that in reading this you will be encouraged to make new healthy, balanced and delicious meals while leading your busy lives, rather than turning to bad-for-you convenience foods!

Admittedly, not all of the recipes you will find here are totally healthy.  But you will find most of them are, as I tend to focus on produce when meal planning.  In any recipe I post I will note what worked well, what didn't work so well (for new recipes), and I will suggest variations wherever I can.  From time to time I will make posts that are not recipes at all, but tips and tricks I have picked up.  I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Cooking,
Jillian

Cheers
