I enjoy making things from scratch. "It tastes better when it's made with love", my husband always says. My all time favorite recipes that I use over and over, have come from Brandon's side of the family. They are country rooted and have a down-home cooking feel that I appreciate. Now that I live in a rural area myself... these country folks really are the best cooks. I have collected many tasty recipes from them as well.
I also love healthy recipes and getting as much protein in as I can. I’ll have to do better at sharing those recipes as well!
I hope you find a wide variety of delicious things to enjoy with your family and friends! In my opinion, food makes every occasion better.

A little more about me and my bunch ----> I lived in California during my grade school years, then moved to Utah when I was 11 years old. I grew up in urban areas of Utah until I met my country boy, Brandon. He is anything BUT urban and I love it! He took me for a ride in a big green tractor our first date, and I knew then, I would never want to leave his side.
We are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple on September 26, 2008.
We started off with 3 kids, then had 3 more together... we have a Yours (Baylee & Abbee), Mine (Kalyssa), & Ours (William, Paisley, and Emmy) kind of family. Having a family of eight is a lot of work and a lot of blessings.
I cherish being a mother above all else. I look forward to everyday I get to shuffle teenagers to and from sports, and the slower days I can snuggle the grand kids. I am so blessed!
Thanks for stopping by.
