About Me
Let me introduce myself,
I am so excited to be here! Thank you all for visiting my website, my name is Melissa Dutcher. I am a mother of two amazing boys and happily married to a guy I have known since preschool. (No Joke (small town)). I. LOVE. FOOD. Now, I know everyone enjoys food. But I LOOOVE it. I love creating new recipes and sharing them with friends, family, and neighbors. I dream of how I can make something I ate better, I strive to create something so good and so fun to make that everyone wants to try it. Obsessed? me? That is a strong word... but it might be accurate.
I started this blog as a way to share more of what I love with people I have never met... and with people I have... Literally, I want to share good food and stories with everyone, because who doesn't love good food and a good story? Right? I taught myself how to cook after years of eating a lot of chicken and potatoes (sorry Mom, but seriously). As time goes on I became more and more obsessed with how to create great food from everyday things, and some not so everyday things. With my husband by my side, we have created a whole new outlook on food and we are teaching our boys how to cook extraordinary food so they can be obsessed too... Or just to assure this crazy mama they won't starve when they grow up and move out.
As a visitor here, you are part of a fantastic community and family. Please never hesitate to drop me a line and tell me your thoughts or concerns on a recipe or story I share. I am always up for a flavorful conversation about what extract you put in cinnamon rolls (It is almond... I will fight you) A few things to note: I hunt, my husband hunts, and my boys hunt. I do not want to hear your views on how it is cruelty. We have a deep love for nature and animals and you will never hear of us wasting anything. Also, our very close friends/family are ranchers and farmers. We love and support their lifestyle and all the hard work they put into their animals and lands. There is a lot of ignorance out there about hunting and ranching, I always encourage people to ask questions and educate yourself before you spread hate. With that being said, I will always respect your views as long as you respect ours. This will not be a negativity blog, this is a food blog and it will have a lot of love and food in it. So, please, stick around and make yourselves comfortable. This is going to be an amazing ride for all of us!
