Buongiorno Cooking Companions!

Hi everyone, my name is Katelyn and I am really excited to join this blogging community =). I absolutely love cooking and eating so this blog is purfect for me! Not to mention that I am always searching for new recipes to make. I love the idea of working with my hands to create something yummy. I began serious cooking about two years ago when I finally buckled down and decided it was time for me to get healthy and lose some weight. It's important that I cook at least a majority of my food because I like being aware of what goes into my meals. I like to consider myself a pseudo-vegetarian because while I'll still eat meat, most of meals tend to be meatless due to the San Francisco based food blog, 101cooking.com, in which I've been using for over a year now. You'll find that most of my meals can be contributed to this site =).

Over this last year I have been tackling many of my food fears (i.e. pies, pie dough, yeast, cooking whole chickens, etc). And whether I succeed or fail in the kitchen, I enjoy each experience of attempting to create something new. Cooking has become both an example of leading a healthy lifestyle and also a form of therapy. But don't get me wrong y'all, just because I like to cook healthy does not mean I won't dabble in the occasional coconut macaroon, apple pie, or gratin ;).

I'm super excited to start adding recipes to feasting with friends as well as trying out everyone's recipes.

LET'S COOK! =)
