Welcome to my food blog and food photography portfolio. This site is really a collection of all of my favorite things. Food, recipes, and photography. I have a love for delicious foods, but I am also a busy mom and I love a good short cut recipe. Additionally, I take pictures of all of my home made food, and drinks. On this site, I hope to help you to capture flavor, and beauty in your dishes.
First let me tell you a little about myself. I have been cooking and baking for more than 20 years. While I love to create recipes, and photograph beautiful dishes. That is certainly not where I started.
I actually started as a personal trainer. My degree helped me in my career as a Cardiac Rehab Technician. During that time, I helped rehabilitate older adults after strokes and heart attacks. Working with people is a very rewarding experience, that I loved. I deciede that I wanted more of that sort of interaction in my work.
With that, I decide to explore my love for teaching. I became a High School and Jr High Science teacher. I loved that as well, and did that job for close to 10 years.
In 2013 I decided I wanted to invest more into raising my small children. Therefore, my husband and I decided that I would take a year off teaching in the classroom to homeschool my new 5 year old kindergartener, and pre-k 3 year old. We decided we would take it a one year at a time to see if it the arrangement worked for our family. I resigned from my teaching job, and now 7 years later I have been a homeschooling mom ever since.
As I continued in my homeschooling journey my children have become more, and more independent. Suddenly, it seemed like I had a lot of free time on my hands. That’s when I began to rediscover my lost loves, cooking, baking, and creativity.
I dove head first into the food blogging world in the summer of 2019, and in the process I found out that I loved photography as well. Making new recipes, and creating beautiful, and delicious food became my passion.
That’s what brought me here. I have created a site that I can share my passion for food with those who are also passionate about food. I am so excited to connect with you.
Come on in, check out my recipes, try one out, let me know what you think. Leave a comment, say Hi lets geek out about food together! Thank you for visiting my little corner of the internet!

Hannah,
I had a good chuckle today. I’ve live near Sisters, and have been a dedicated customer of Sisters Coffee for 30+ years. I tried their Salt and Date Cookie today, and loved it! A web search led me to your recipe “Salted Date Cookies”. LOL when I read that your inspiration was their cookie. I’m looking forward to making your recipe and visiting your blog.
Hannah, I visited you blog to look for a certain recipe I saw in a magazine. I did not locate it and message you about it but now I am hooked on your blog!! Looking forward to many good recipes.
Thank you, Cathy Liles
