Introduction

Hi everyone, I am a food fanatic new to the blogging world. I will be blogging about food, clothes, and some fitness. I have recently taken up a new diet, kind of similar to ideal protein, but not as extreme. I will be posting a lot of healthy recipes for my fellow healthy eaters. Don't worry, I will still be posting some regular recipes and desserts for all of you who have a sweet tooth. I have recently started a small cooking business in the Baton Rouge area. I'll explain to you how it works. I send a menu to anyone who is interested, it has a nice variety of appetizers, meals, sides, and desserts. You pick what you want and I take care of the rest. Once you pick your meal, I will go and get any groceries that I don't already have. The price for the groceries will be included in your total. After I cook your delicious meal, you have two options. I can deliver it to you (10$ fee), or you can come and pick it up from me. This is any easy way for those parents who are swamped with work to provide a home cooked meal for their families. I have cooked many things for some busy families such as: spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, and craw fish pie (all homemade, pictures below).

Here are some home made meatballs I made. They are made using an old family recipe. They are probably the best meatballs I have ever tasted, not to brag or anything. I grew up making these with my mom and gran. Although, they will never be as good as my grandma's (nothing ever is, ugh!), they are still really good. The process for making meatballs is not as long a process as you'd think. I will share the recipe in one of my future posts, so you might want to stick around(:

To your right you will see a picture of the spaghetti sauce, meatballs included, and pasta I made for a family. The mother of the house requested gluten free pasta because she is gluten intolerant. I can alter most recipes to fit any special health concerns or special requests. Now, back to the spaghetti sauce. I have also been making the spaghetti sauce since I was a little girl. The sauce is also a family recipe that has been passed down for years. My grandma makes the best spaghetti sauce I have ever tasted. I don't think mine could ever be as good as hers, but mine is still pretty good!

Here is another Italian family recipe. There is nothing better than a hot pan of home made lasagna. My mom makes it all the time and it is to die for. My mom is also an amazing cook, just like my grandmas. I guess that's where I get it from, lol. I made this lasagna also using gluten free pasta because the family had a gluten intolerance. You might be thinking to yourself, does she only cook Italian food? The answer is no, I can cook a variety of different foods. I cook a lot of Italian food because I have a huge Italian family, that is just what I'm used to.






This is a non-Italian dish I made. Craw fish pie is a delicious, Cajun recipe. Down in the south, Cajun food is a specialty. People in the north try to recreate Cajun food, but they can never get it just right. I love to cook all kinds of foods from Italian to Cajun.

Enough about the cooking business, here's a little bit about me. I have grown up in a huge Italian family. My mom is the youngest of 4 and my dad is also the youngest of 4. My mom's side of the family is extremely Italian. My dad's side of the family is a mix of different things. I have the best grandparents anyone could ever have. My mom's parents are that cute little couple you see walking around holding hands and just being cute. They have been together since high school and they still love each other as much as they did when they were first married. my dad's parents have been together for a very long time as well, they are the sweetest people you've ever met. my mom and dad have been dating since the 6th grade, that's 32 years! Both sides of my family love to cook, that's where I get it from. My mom encouraged me to start this blog since i love to cook so much. I will be sharing recipes, cooking tips, brands I like to use, and everything else. I might even add in a few giveaways(: 

Now into the fashion part. I am obsessed with fashion. I love clothes, swim suits, shoes, all of it. You could almost call me a shopaholic. I love keeping up with the latest celebrity styles and seasonal colors and such. I thought this blog would be a perfect way to share my love of fashion with others. I will be sharing my favorite brands, outfit pieces, style, and colors. 

The fitness part ties into the recipes. As I post recipes that aren't the best thing you could eat, I will also post good workouts for slimming down and toning your body.I will also post stuff about exercise equipment, work out clothes, and stuff like that. I have recently started working out regularly and joined a gym. I have also converted my dad's old office into an at home gym. I hope you enjoy my workout tips as much as I do. 

You will probably see me post a lot about Snazzy & Chic Boutique, LLC. The reason for this is because I am a part of this Snazzy fam. That's right, I along with many other beautiful girls model for Snazzy & Chic. Snazzy & Chic is run by Melissa Mitrik, one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. Snazzy & Chic was an online boutique, but as of May 1st Snazzy & Chic Boutique opened in Slidell. I suggest this store to all women. Snazzy & Chic has some of the cutest clothes ever! (I want to buy the whole store!) The excitement doesn't stop there, Snazzy & Chic also has fabulous shoes, purses, and jewelry that is to die for. A soon as you enter the store you are treated like a queen. You are greeted by Melissa, who you will instantly love, and other staff members. They will help you with whatever you need and even help you pick out outfits. I would appreciate if you would all like the facebook page, Snazzy & Chic Boutique, LLC.
