Starting up...

Hi all!
Greetings from Northwest Iowa, land of the pork and beef. And corn. And soybeans, which I think smell like fried chicken. With that said, welcome to my new blog! Like the description says, I am a foodie. To prove that, I just received 5 new cookbooks in the mail this past week to add to my growing collection. I also having a growing collection of online recipe boxes. I am not a strict recipe follower. If I am looking for a meal, I take a little of this recipe and a little of that and combine the ingredients I think would go good together. I am by no means a professional chef. In fact, I am a music teacher. But first and foremost I am a wife, a mother, and a believer. I hope you enjoy my blog and recipes!
