About me
Hi! I'm Minna. My husband and I are from the US but now live in Belgium (and love it!!). I had the good fortune to find this website while searching for a recipe that uses certain items in my fridge. While I adore *haute cuisine*, I'm not actually motivated enough to execute it (at least for now) -- but I do very much enjoy cooking in a simpler style for my family and friends. At home I usually make southern-type dishes (I use the Lady & Sons cookbook a lot, as well as good ol' Betty Crocker and, these days, many recipes from the Internet). My signature dishes right now are oven-fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, and zucchini muffins. I also really enjoy recipes from a vegan cookbook published by PETA called "The Compassionate Cook". My family is not vegetarian (again, at this time), but I like to serve vegetarian meals a lot because they are healthy, and just for a change. Anyway, I'm very glad to have found this website, and am really looking forward to trying some of the great-sounding recipes posted here!
