The Recipe Box

My husband and I decided to make a blog about our cooking, baking, family recipes that have been passed down, and food in general. We are foodies who believe that love makes a home, and the center of that home is the kitchen. The kitchen not only provides life-giving meals for the family, but also life lessons, cooking skills, listing/budgeting/shopping skills, extra warmth for the house on chilly nights, science lessons (from growing a whole new stalk of celery from a trimming, to the botulism of left overs), and even a makeshift doctor office for stings, cuts, bites, and rashes.

On this blog you'll see a lot of recipes that we make here in our kitchen, as well as any foodie adventures we stumble into. We are from Kentucky, but we currently live in Japan, so going out to eat is always exciting. Along with the food recipes, we will also include home remedy recipes from our mothers, grandmothers, and new ones that we have learned about.

Our recipes are quite eclectic, with a healthy blend of vegetarian, vegan, omnivorous, and down home country cooking. We love trying new recipes as well as making dishes previous generations made down on the farm. In our fridge you'll find veggies and soy milk next to the mason jar of bacon grease, and in the freezer you'll find frozen fruit and beef roast next to the veggie burgers. We hope you enjoy our culinary endeavors and feel free to try any of the recipes you see!
