Julia Child is reported to have said, "I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate." For me, I was 30. While I have always loved food, cooking was something I feared, disliked, and avoided until motherhood compelled me to overcome my feelings and, in spite of myself, I found I began to enjoy trying new recipes, creating tasty meals, and sharing them with others. These are the adventures of my learning to love something that overwhelmed and intimidated me for far too long. I hope you will enjoy (and perhaps benefit from) the tales of a reluctant cook!

Mom's Blueberry Crisp (originally posted May 19, 2014)


There are a few dishes I make that are comfort food for me partly because they hearken back to my childhood and my mom’s cooking, which wasn’t always 100% healthy but was always 100% delicious. One of my favorites of these dishes is my mom’s blueberry crisp, which I had the chance to make just recently. It’s incredibly easy to put together and perfect for a gathering of friends or family. With summer and blueberry season not too far away, this is a great recipe to have on hand. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
