Behind the Blog

I LOVE food - QUALITY food!  I seem to always be telling my friends about recipes I tried or restaurants I like, so I figured it would be exciting to blog my adventures in food.  I will post recipes and my experiences with them, along with my reviews of restaurants.

I am newly married and have become obsessed with trying new recipes.  (My husband actually does most of the cooking due to my work schedule, but I plan all of the meals.)  I am particularly interested in recipes that have few ingredients, are quick and easy, do not cost too much, and are healthy!  Some favorite items I cook with are chicken, cheese (feta and cheddar are my favorites), pasta, potatoes, onions, and eggs.  Three things you will not find on my blog are seafood, mushrooms, and any meat with bones-I just can't stand them!  Generally, I am pretty willing to try new foods.  I also love baking less traditional, creative desserts.

Growing up, my mom did not love to cook, so we ate out a lot.  I continue to love going out to eat.  My husband and I recently moved to SoCal and there are so many great restaurants to try!  I already have a few favorites, but will certainly be exploring more :)

If there are any recipes or restaurants you would like me to try and review (or just because you think I would like them), please comment them to me or email me at theyummierthings@gmail.com, and I will do what I can!

I hope you enjoy and can find some new favorite recipes and restaurants from my posts!

Thanks for visiting :)
