Welcome!

Welcome!

Several years back I started a project that I refer to as A Life Edited and Curated.  It is my effort to create the life that I really want, doing the things I value most, surrounded by the things that are most important and reflective of me and my family all put together in a beautiful, comfortable, inspiring way.  So much of the journey has been about getting rid of stuff.  In that process I have worked on defining which stuff really means something to me and have sought to have those meaningful things around me in a way that can truly be enjoyed.

The next step in this journey is to extend that line of thinking to my recipes.

I love food.  It appeals to both my adventurous side and my nostalgic side.  And I have always been a collector of recipes and cookbooks.  I love the cookbooks that document the history of a family, region, or era.  I love being connected to others by sharing good food.

Lately, I feel as though my recipes are in a state of disarray.  I can't always find what I want when I want and have found that it is easier for me to rely on recipes that I have online.  I wanted to create new family cookbooks replete with photos and stories but just haven't had the time.  This blog is my way of rectifying the situation.

I will be editing my recipes and cookbook collection and I will be curating them here.  Maybe later I will print them into a book.  Maybe one day I will make the new family cookbooks but for now they will be here where they can be found and enjoyed!
