a blog for food lovers.

I love food! I mean, who doesn't right? I love experimenting with food almost as much as I love eating it. I want to share my recipes and experiences with others who might want to try out something new with me. Enjoy! :)

About Me:
My name is Heather. I'm 25 years old and still living at home in New Hampshire with my parents. I'm an independent contractor, and I mainly do promotional events throughout the New England area. I am also involved with promoting local and national artists and on occasion I'll get the chance to travel on the road with them. Photography and Cooking are big hobbies of mine, and my blog is my stomping ground to share them both. I hope you'll stick around for awhile, I've got a lot to share!

*NOTE: I am currently on tour representing the Keep A Breast foundation. I am living on an RV for most of the year and will be updating about food I cook on the RV as well as dining out eats!
