I love food, and I have the sneaking suspicion that food loves me back.

I'm a fairly newly wed, mostly sane person recently transplanted from Seattle to Central California and again to North Carolina.

I'm addicted to food blogs, high thread count sheets, and most anything in earth-tones. I aspire to be a vegan marathon runner...but I think just between you and me, we know that ain't ever gonna happen...

The most recent move to North Carolina is my first time ever living on the East Coast, and as a lifetime West Coast baby I will attempt to explore the culinary differences of the two Coasts. Additionally, I most often attempt to keep my meals as nutritious and healthful as is possible without sacrificing too much taste.

The main a bird in the kitchen page is dedicated solely to recipes, reviews, and all things pertaining to food. a bird's words is a space that I have reserved for more personal subjects, rantings, and general nothingness about me, my family, and my life.

If you are interested in contacting me directly please be sure to utilize the contact tab located at the top of the page. I will attempt to respond as quickly as possible to all questions and comments directed to me.
