Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

In addition to trying to squeeze in some cooking and baking, I'm now a full-time working Mom to my sweet Penelope Jane! As you can probably tell, I talk about her a lot and love to share what's going on in our fun albeit sometimes crazy little world/juggling act. If you want to find out more about my pregnancy, general baby things, or life with a todder since her birth, you've come to the right place!
