Well, where to begin? I decided to start a blog as a creative outlet for myself. I love to write when I have something that I am passionate about or interested in, and having a forum where I am free to share my thoughts and opinions sounds like a lovely idea. I intend to write about whatever excites me throughout my daily life, whether it be a new book that I’ve discovered, a fantastic cake recipe, or a splendid bargain that I’ve come across. I love baking and cooking, I’m an avid reader, and I enjoy fashion, make-up, and working out. I have a wonderfully supportive husband, two adorable dogs, and a socially insecure cat. I love food. I’m a vegetarian, but please don’t think that in any way limits the kinds of food that I enjoy. One of my favorite things is to discover a new (to me) restaurant and I haven’t met a cuisine yet that I didn’t like. (Aside from a steakhouse, because, you know, being a vegetarian and all.) Cheese is one of my favorite things and few foods excite me more than a good cheese plate. Add wine to the mix and I’m as happy as can be! That will conclude my introductory post, but I hope to add at least one more this week as I prepare for Valentine’s Day (i.e. baking.) It’s a bit nerve-wracking putting my thoughts out for anyone to read, but I’m excited to see where it goes, even if they are only read by my friends and family.
