I am Amy. At the moment, I live in the suburbs with my tall, kind, funny husband, our two precocious daughters (ages 4 and 2), and two rescue cats (one fat, one skinny).
I am a biology major who kills houseplants (by accident, not for fun) and a dog lover now owned by cats. I am firmly planted in the midwest, but it seems like yesterday that I traveled and lived all over the world. Many of my posts are about food for my family. I owe my love of food to my mom, a home-ec teacher and a jaw-droppingly amazing cook. I live on the edge of a major city, but I am longing to move to a smaller, sleepier town.
I started this blog in 2010 as a fun writing experiment while I searched for a new job. Little did I know that posting recipes and sharing stories about my family would lead to very fulfilling work. I explain it all here. I now work full-time out of the home as a food writer, so this blog is updated sporadically—at best. Thank you for visiting!

Hey Amy! Always nice to meet another South Dakotan – what part did you live in?
Hi! Likewise! We lived in Rapid City on Ellsworth AFB. How about you?
Hi Amy. Thanks for stopping by my blog. That’s so cool that you’re a food writer. You’ll have to post some links to your articles.
