About Me

About Me: Hi there.  My name is Nicole and I am just a regular gal.  I live in Utah, I am married and have two adorable children.  Besides being a busy mom and wife, I do the cooking, cleaning, errands, and I am a full time nursing student.  In my "not so spare" time, I love to cook and bake and come up with new ideas and recipes in the kitchen.  

About My Recipes: I have over 50 cookbooks of all sizes and variety, most of which were inherited from my grandmother.  Out of all these cookbooks, my favorite recipes are the ones that were hand written by my grandmother or clipped from magazines and newspapers.  I have so many things I want to try, and I am barely getting started.  I search for other recipes on popular cooking websites, I have a few favorite blogs I follow, a magazine subscription, and the rest of the time I experiment!  You will probably see that more than anything I am obsessed with sweets!  Cakes, cookies, candy, you name it.  I literally have hundreds of handpicked baking recipes just waiting to be posted.  I occasionally make specialty themed cakes for friends, family, and anyone else who's interested.  I am also always searching for quick and easy (but tasty) recipes I can make when the school and housework is just piled up too high.

My Blog: For me, this blog is a way for me to do something for myself, and hopefully for you too.  Between housework and entertaining a 5 and 8 year old, I occasionally like to step into the kitchen where I have "my" time.  This little blog is like my window of connection to the world where I can talk among other adults who love to cook like me. I'm so glad you have stopped by my blog and I hope you continue to come back again and again.
