A Food Blog for Home Cooks and Foodies
I’m here to show you that you don’t have to live in the big city or have a lot of money to eat like you live in big city or have a lot of money.
My name is Christy, and I am a country girl living in the heartland who cooks up easy gourmet recipes for my husband and I almost every day.
Join me as I put gourmet twists on classic recipes right here in our 170-year old midwestern farmhouse.
