About Me

I'm a Human Resources "computer geek" by day..... 
Barefoot Contessa "wanna-be" by night..... and of course, 
a Mommy, Wife, Best Friend, and Christ-Follower 24/7/365.

I love being passionate about my life...it's so short here on Earth and I just want to make the most of it while I've been given the opportunity to live it. One of the "constant" things in my life every single day is eating.....so why does it have to be boring? Well, it doesn't! So..... when it comes to cooking, my personality shines through most clearly through the "lens" of the Barefoot Contessa - i.e. any recipe that comes from Ina Garten. And not just the food, if you look through her cookbook "Back to Basics".....her entire lifestyle inspires me. I just started becoming obessed with her tv show on the Food Network just a little before the movie "Julie/Julia" came out in theatres. When I saw the movie, I totally thought that the "project" was right up my alley.

I love what I do for a living during the day..... it IS my dream job.... but my other dream job is being a mother and wife. Why not try and make the best of both, right? So that's why I'm "going barefoot" and doing this blog.............. to show you how much I love cooking for the people I love from the person who inspired me the most.
