My husband and I were married in the fall of 2007. Our wedding was straight out of a fairytale. Bouquets, dresses, dreams and blessings. After we returned from our magnificent honeymoon, the unpacking began. Cookbook, spatula, blender, cookbook, frying pan, cookbook...Where to begin? In the beginning months of our marriage, I had struggled to find cookbooks with recipes to fit our budget. Of course I'd love to make Filet Mignon with a Merlot Cream Sauce served aside rosemary seasoned baby potatoes for my meat and potatoes man, but Filet Mignon on a newlywed budget...ya right! A little garlic here, a pinch of salt there ... and Our First Year began without me even knowing it. I started in my pantry and created from there.
Now a few years down the road I have written and have had published over 75 of my recipes, along with many helpful tips and how-to's, party ideas and much more into my cookbook: Our First Year - Cost Effective Recipes from the Home of Newlyweds.
I would have never imagined this would be the journey God had planned for me; especially if you asked me at the beginning of my marriage if I thought I'd be a published author someday, I would have said you're crazy! But this has been such an exciting adventure and I look forward to seeing what He has planned next!
