Welcome!

Hello family, friends, and food lovers!

I'm Mrs.King. Yes, I am a teacher. And I'm convinced I've heared Mrs. King more times than I have Kristin. But, first and foremost I am a wife and a "mama". The two most amazing and rewarding jobs that exist. I have been a wife for 4.5 years, a teacher for 4.5 years and a mama for 14 months. Growing up, I remember watching my mom cook dinner and she always cooked tasty meals, well....except for the canned spinach incident that is vividly burned into my memory. Anyway, I guess I just never really got into cooking. That's when I met and married my husband, Ryan. I had no idea pre-wedding, but I had BIG shoes to fill! My mother-in-law, Mary, is such an amazing cook that kids from Ryan's high school still come to dinner! Not to forget my sister-in-law, Charmaine. After learning how those two cook, I knew my new husband would required delicious home cooked meals. So, I got some cookbooks and dove in. 4.5 years later, I am proud to admit that cooking is one of my passions! And since this is about me and although he doesn't have much to do with the cooking story yet....I must mention my 14 month old, Carter. He is our pride and joy. Not a day goes by when Ryan and I don't sit in amazement that God blessed us (and trusted us) with this baby boy. Ok, that's my mommy spill for the day. :)

The idea to blog popped in my head the other day when I was texting a friend, Vicki, about a recipe I thought she'd like. I love a good recipe. When I find one I want to share. I'm a working mama who knows anything that makes life easier is always appreciated!

So, the plan is to find a new recipe each week to cook, take pictures of, decide if it's worthy of being repeated, and share with you - my cooking loves. No, this will not be gourmet food. It will be recipes that are found and cooked by a person with no culinary schooling.

I hope you enjoy.
