So, here's a little about me. I'm just your average twenty-something finally making time for what I love to do: cooking and baking. I'm definitely not a professional, but I've always been the person in the group to cook for everybody else and enjoyed it. In college, I loved getting together for potlucks and later at my job, I was always the one to bring in homemade cookies or brownies.
I hope to use this blog (and perhaps some vlogs) to share my passion and to learn some new recipes along the way. I would really like to blog about some of my own recipes/adaptions as well as "test out" some great recipes I have pinned on Pinterest. So, if you have any suggestions fell free to leave me a comment!
Without further a due, my first recipe is for my own Pico de Gallo. I started making this salsa when I fell in love with a similar pre-made Pico de Gallo at a local grocery store. I wanted to make it myself as a less costly alternative and now, almost seven years later and after many trials, I think I have perfected my own adaptation of the recipe. This is definitely one of my most requested dishes and I make it for pretty much every summer family function or potluck party. The leftovers can also be used as a filling for omelets, which is super delicious. I hope you enjoy!
