When it comes to cooking, comfort food is my jam. I love pulling out my cast iron dutch oven and spending time creating casseroles, pasta dishes, soups, you name it. Anything that will warm your belly and your soul at the same time is my favorite. I grow a lot of my own herbs that I dry and use throughout the year to enhance and deepen the flavors of whatever I am cooking. I hope you find something here that speaks to you that way too.
