Welcome to my blog, and thanks for reading and caring what I have to say. I appreciate you taking the time to check out my little corner of the blog world. Hope you like what you see!
My name's Desiree (you can call me Desi or Des for short) and I am a 27 year old girl, born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm currently working towards my Masters degree in community counseling at Xavier University, where I also went for my undergrad. I'm loyal like that :)
I am engaged to my wonderful fiancee, PJ, whom I have been dating for 12 years - yep, we're high school sweethearts. See? Loyal, I told ya. You'll be hearing about him all the time I'm sure. He is always a part of my cooking endeavors.
Pictures like this happen a lot with us. Closed eyes, blurry, or eyes wide open :) And no, we really aren't wine drinkers. This was a rare occasion.
We bought our first house a few years back and I am still trying to make it into a home. I'm not really the crafty, decorating type, but I want to be, so I love catching up on all kinds of crafty home blogs. And fashion blogs. But mainly food blogs of course!!
I started this blog originally to review new restaurants that I wanted to try. Then I came across this blog one day and fell in love. I knew that I had to be doing that too. So then I started cooking more and adding those recipes to the blog. So that is what this blog focuses on... recipes and restaurant reviews, with a little randomness from me here and there.
I also enjoy writing stories and poetry. You can check out my poetry blog where I share a little bit of my own poetry as well as others I like.

things that replace books (Kindle, E-Readers)
bad customer service
slow drivers (ok I don't dislike you, actually. My fiancee is one of them, so obviously I like him. I like you and all, I just may cuss you out on the road if you are driving too slow for my likings. We can still be friends though.)
Now on to the important people in my life. I've already told you about PJ, my #1 and also my main taste tester.
Also my Mama, whose good ole Southern cooking has influenced me deeply. Love that woman, she's pretty amazing. I would do anything for her, she deserves the world!
My brother Jr is very important to me and we are pretty close, even though we are 15 years apart. I like to take some of my treats over to him and he's always thankful.
I also get to dote on my niece Kalyn, who is about to turn 18 this year. I can't believe that I can remember when she was born! Aka I'm getting old.
I love my Daddy too, of course. He likes to supply me with goodies from his garden. He doesn't like his picture taken though so...
PJ's mother, Amy, (my future mother-in-law) is so supportive of my blog and just the sweetest lady ever! She can cook some good food, too.
And of course my bestie, Marcey. We have so much fun shopping, checking out bookstores, eating, and enjoying some alcoholic beverages together.
I'm sure you'll be hearing about some other great friends and family too but these are the main ones in my life that I tend to talk about on the regular.
Well, that's just a little bit about me. I hope you'll subscribe to my posts so you can get to know me a little better, and never miss a recipe :)
So glad you're here!
