Hey there! 
I'm Rachel, a small-town girl from Oklahoma. I just came back to the U.S. after living in Japan for the past four years. I love all things food related, and am particularly interested in nutritional, whole-food cooking from scratch. Join me in my culinary adventures, my domestic doings, and the story of my life, one day at a time.
