Welcome!
My name is Melissa. I love trying new recipes and tasting new foods, and I have a large collection of cookbooks and recipes from which I enjoy perusing and preparing items. I created this website as a reference guide for myself when I need to look up important information I refer to when cooking. I also wanted a place to share my different recipes and food finds with my family and friends.
If you are wondering, the name of this site is compliments of my husband, Michael. One day, while we were testing our new answering machine he felt a bit famished, so he called the phone and left the message "get in the kitchen and make me some pie!"
