the Definition of Yumminess

   Experience has taught me that those seemingly insignificant things in life make you smile and keep you going. Sometimes happiness comes unexpectedly when discovering a great new place to hike, trying out a new yoga pose and other times it comes in the subtle form of re-finding that really great pair of snuggly socks in the back of my dresser drawer. 
   Being someone who loves to eat good food, bursts of happiness more often than not occur when experimenting with food in my kitchen. But as someone who is allergic to milk and also pretty darn lactose intolerant, the road to the dinner table has not always been a simple one. In the 15 years since that diagnosis, I have come to relish cooking with delicious ingredients (to the point where I don't even miss the milk), and love testing out dairy substitutes (in those recipes that just plead to be creamy). 
   My goal is to share a little of life's yumminess (mainly the foodie portion of it) in the form of a photograph, recipe or a even a little blurb. Hopefully it will get you thinking about all of the yummy things you can whip up in your own life too :)  Join me in my blogging adventure!  


Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.
