Come on into My Kitchen!

Hi! I'm Kelly :) My kids call me 'Mama Kelly' - I'm their step-mom, and they have other "Mama's" in their lives, so this way we can keep all the 'mamas' straight. I love being a mom, and absolutely love cooking and preparing food.

I had started another blog, where I was detailing foods and recipes that I use in my daily life here in Lima, Peru. (My husband is Peruvian, and we moved here about 6 years ago) But that blog gradually became more and more of an update on my life and what is going on here, rather than being focused on the food. And I really want to do a blog that's FOCUSED on FOOD - but it's also going to be focused on family.

This is NOT going to be all about Peruvian cooking, although I will occasionally throw some simple to follow Peruvian recipes in. I was raised a Southern girl, and love country style cooking. But I also love to experiment with lots of different styles. I have not ever formally studied cooking, so I tend to do things with 'a couple pinches of this or that' when I cook, rather than being stuck on difficult to follow recipes.

So, here I am. I'm going to be blogging about a lot of things - party ideas, cookware, kitchen appliances, ingredients... but most of all, it's going to be about recipes. So - get ready - Here we go!
