Introduction

Hi, my name is Rachel, and I am a wife and a mother to 3 great kids; all of whom I cook A LOT for.  On any given day there might be an extra kid or two at my house too, so i find that cooking, and cleaning up from cooking takes a giant chunk out of my day.

One of the most awesome resources that has recently become available is Pinterest.  Thousands of new recipes are at my disposal daily!  Problem is, people pin them without necessarily trying them.  It has become a constant problem that most of the fabulous recipes I pin turn out to be bland or not very tasty at all.

I'm going to dedicate this blog to trying some of those out, and only posting things worth making.  Along the way Ill add some of my family's favorite recipes. 
Here is what you should expect from this blog:
  Meals that
      -make large portions
      -are inexpensive
      -you would be proud so serve your husband's friends
      -are not casseroles.  I didn't grow up with that traditional type American fare and it grosses me out.
      -low carb/paleo/gluten free options.  I recently got my Better Homes and Gardens magazine and there was not ONE recipe in it that didnt contain flour :P  For such a big market out there you would think...

Hopefully I can convince my mom to post as well, because she is an excellent cook:)
