About

First off, thanks for stopping by!

I’m Amanda, I live in Northern California with my boyfriend, Matt, and my dog, Riken. I recently graduated from Chico State with a degree in Biology and I’m looking for a job in food science.

When I left home for college, didn’t cook much besides making Pasta-Roni and heating up chicken strips. Then I met my boyfriend and he taught me how to make biscuits and gravy. I started blogging as a way to keep track of the recipes I tried. Now I do most of the cooking and I’m always looking for ways to try new foods that are cheap and easy to make. I’m also trying to eat healthier. Growing up I hated vegetables, so now I’m learning to incorporate more of them in my diet.

After writing just a food blog, I wanted to expand to be able to post more about my dog Riken, who we rescued in January 2012, and all my adventures. I just love traveling around Northern California and checking out little towns and local events.

Again thanks for checking out my blog and feel free to comment! I love hearing feedback!
