This showed up on my wall on Facebook today. I don't know if you have seen it. If you haven't and you are a woman or have a mother, sister, daughter, niece, or partner, you should see this. If we don't take charge of how we are portrayed by the media, who will? Let's start the dialogue.Miss Representation Trailer Val Curtis of Mental Chew     Read more >

About Me: 

Once upon a time I was a very dedicated middle school science teacher and then I had my two children. The cliche is true. Motherhood is the toughest job, but the rewards are breathtaking. I live on an island in the PNW and I thank my lucky stars that I get to wake up in this corner of the world each and every day. 

I am a wife, a mom, a gardener, an islander, a sailor, a teacher, a recipe follower, a beer and wine snob, a blogger and I am trying to make it through the day with a smile. Also, my hot food and cold food cannot touch on a plate. Weird. I know. My food is made with real ingredients, nothing processed in this kitchen, including the desserts. Keep it real.  

Profession: 
Mom / Wife / Gardener / Photographer who loves to cook.
