About

Sometimes people tell me I am silly, but food brings me so much joy. A good meal can really brighten my day. These are the things I look forward to sharing with everyone!

My name is Hazel. I have always loved food, but my biggest joy is in the preparation. Even when I was very young, I would ask to cook my own food, which never turned out well as I just threw random ingredients into a pot. I used to spend a lot oftime watching my grandmother cook. She put so much time, effort and love into her food. The older I got, the more I cooked and the better I became at it. When I joined the Army shortly after graduating High School, I didn’t stop cooking. There was a large kitchen in our barracks and from time to time, I would cook up a big meal to share with my friends. Once I got married, the real fun began. My husband and I are very much alike in the food department, though he enjoys the eating much more than the cooking! I will say that I am not big into following recipes. I might use them as a guideline, but I have found that the best food comes from trial and error. I’ll try anything once and probably twice, just to make sure I was right the first time around. And that’s where this blog comes in! I have always wanted to share my recipes with people. It’s nice to get feedback from someone other than my husband because at this point, I think he will eat anything!
