About Me

I'm a 29 year old trucker's wife and a mommy of 2 adorable kiddos.  Izabella is 3 and changes her tastes, likes, and dislikes at each meal.  She's not necessarily "picky", but definitely has an opinion.  Her favorite food is grilled chicken with bbq dipping sauce.  Zakary is 1 and will try and eat just about anything I put in front of him.  He is very much taking after me and my healthy eating habits.  He loves spinach, grilled chicken, and fruit, but his all time food (or should I say condiment?) is RANCH DRESSING!  The boy can NOT get enough of the stuff.  He dips EVERYTHING in ranch.  The rule in our house is that you eat what is served or you choose to wait until the next meal, completely up to my kids what they eat and how much.  I am also a daycare provider and have three wonderful daycare families with great kids!  My husband is an over the road truck driver and pretty much eats what he wants, even when he's home.  On top of family and daycare, I have a small business called Bella Bean's Boutique.  I custom paint wall letters, growth charts, and other items for children.  If that weren't enough I am in the middle of a weight loss journey and blogging about that at Body By Me.

I have had people ask me for recipes all the time, so I started posting a few here and there on my facebook page.  Then I had a neighbor friend joke about how I should make cooking videos.  And now I have people asking for a blog.  So here I am...taking on one more thing in my already hectic life!  Bon Appetit!
