Hello hello!

Hi! So I'm doing it, starting this blog thing!


Wow, that totally sounded like something an old lady trying to be hip and "with it" would say. Awkward. Let's move on.


My name is Amanda, and I LOVE to cook. It's really calming for me to get out the cutting boards and mince some garlic and chop up some peppers. I love seeing a bag full of groceries turn into a delicious meal. And most of all, I love making people happy when they eat my food.


(I also really love zucchinis. YUM.)


Which is why I'm starting this blog. Not because of the zucchinis- because most of my family lives 8 hours away in northern California, and they don't get to try all the yummy food I make. Sharing my pictures and recipes is the next best thing, right? Right.


Everything I post will be something I've made and loved. Something I want to share. Something I hope you will like. I also try really hard to make low calorie dishes, because as much as I love butter and sugar, I do live in southern California, and I am expected to wear a swimsuit sometimes.


Unfortunate, I know.  


I also really hate wishing I wore sweatpants to dinner, or wanting to unbutton my jeans after I finish a meal, so I try to stay pretty aware of portion sizes.


I've learned cooking is (and should be!!) really fun, and it's a great way to experience new foods.


Enjoy!! :)
