Hello! I’m starting this blog to feed a recent obsession with cooking and trying out new recipes.
A little about me:
I’m not yet Midwestern Wife, although I will be come Nov. 1, when I marry the wonderful Computer Guy. At that point, we will embark on one of the great adventures of life: homeownership. We’re in the process of purchasing a great 110-year-old house in a small town in Illinois (where many ingredients are pretty much impossible to find without driving 30 minutes in either direction).
I’ve lived on my own for about two years (well, six if you count college), so cooking for someone else will be an adventure, as will balancing work and home life. It’s pretty easy to ignore piles of unfolded clean laundry when you’re the only one who needs the clothes, but it’s more difficult when you have a man who can hardly run the washing machine!
In this blog, you’ll find my musings on being a new wife, including housekeeping, my crazy cat Hamlet and everything in between. But mostly (I hope), you’ll find food. You’ll find the tried-and-true easy recipes, my experiments, the successes and the failures.
I hope you enjoy!
