From Eric:
The two of us have been discussing starting a food blog off and on for a few months now. Mostly, I’ve been content to occasionally take pictures of the meals we cook and things we bake, storing them up for the day when we become motivated enough to begin the blog.
I’ll let Becca speak for herself, but my main reason for starting this blog is that I see food as a running metaphor for the two of us. Being married to someone is about compromise on both sides, and the kitchen is no exception. I learned, painfully at times, that I never had a good reason for not trying something. And Becca was thankfully quite patient when I tried to hold onto my meat-and-potato roots.
Out of all of this, I discovered a love of food and cooking I didn’t know I had in me. And nothing makes me happier than the two of us, together in the kitchen.
From Becca:
I grew up cooking with my mom. As a stay-at-home mom, she made it her job to cook delicious dinners for the family each night, and dinner was always a time when the family would be together. With this start, I have always cherished cooking and eating as a way to be close to family and friends.
So when I met Eric, I wanted cooking to be a way the two of us could be close. Fortunately, he was flexible enough to try new foods (although I have come to know his “I really hate this and it tastes disgusting face”). Together, we have bought many a kitchen gadget, electronic, and serving piece.
Cooking together, and eating together, is our time each night to see each other after a busy, often stressful day. We are lucky to share it with each other and are eager to share it with you.
