hey there!

I’m Traci

I hate cooking = cooking challenged. I’m just as surprised as you that I have a cooking/food related site. Here’s the thing, I do know the basics of cooking food. Obviously I’ve not made it to almost 60 years old, and never cooked. Duh! But I don’t love it. It’s always felt like a chore.

I’m not a natural, instinctive cook. I can follow a recipe – no problem. But creating my own recipes, and experimenting… not something I’m good at. Probably because of the whole “I hate cooking/it’s a chore” thing.

That said, I want to learn to love it. Or at least like it. Thus this site to document my journey (aka: have evidence that I do cook sometimes) and to hopefully connect with a community of foodies who will at the very least, inspire me to try new things.

Pray for me, my family is hungry! 😂

A little more about me

Things I love..
My family (obviously), making people laugh, helping people, birdwatching from the comfort of the indoors and my reborn therapy dolls.
(the “baby” in this picture is one of my reborn therapy dolls)

Things I don’t love…
Cooking, racists, rude/mean people, telemarketers, spammers, large crowds, traffic, being late and trying on swimsuits.

Things I don’t understand…
People with no sense of humor, trigonometry, today’s fashion trends, how Teflon doesn’t slide off the cookware and why I need to buy every new fangled kitchen appliance.
