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.

Since there was no prerequisite foods that I needed to make, I was able to make whatever I [...]
Homemade chocolate chip cookies have to be my favorite dessert of all time. They’re a simple, humble dessert. There’s nothing gourmet about them.
