Hey! I’m so glad you stopped by!
I’m Teresa, originally from NW Indiana, but I moved to Europe after I married my Swiss husband in 2006. We call home in a small village in Southern Germany with our three cocker spaniels, Lio, Boomer, and Scooby. Boy are they a handful! You just might see them pop up from time to time on the blog. 😉
When I got married I really had no idea how to cook especially not from scratch. Add on a different culture and I was really stuck. Luckily I was able to learn a lot from my mother-in-law. Her background is Italian and you know those Italians know how to cook!
I will never forget the day she handed me a head of butter lettuce and asked me to clean it. I took one look at her and one look at the butter lettuce and had absolutely no clue what to do. True story.
She taught me the basics of cooking and the rest I learned from trial and error. Cooking from scratch was born for me and I have loved every minute of it.
Here you’ll find mostly healthy recipes using real, whole ingredients. No box mixes here! Simple and tasty are key!
More about me:
- I love dramatised stories. Murder mysteries are my fav, but I love the classics too.
- My wedding day was practically my moving day. I’ve lived in Europe over 13 years now.
- I hate talking on the phone. I’d rather text or meet in person.
- I’m 100% an introvert. Conversation is not my strong point. So please say HI! I’d love to get to know you. 🙂
- In high school it was my goal to get an A on every paper I had to write in English Composition. I accomplished my goal with flying colours! I still have the folder with all the papers I wrote!
- I probably love a good, spicy chai latte more than coffee.
