I am married to an inspirational eater who will eat anything at least once. He encourages me in the kitchen, as well as in life. The reason for the name of this blog is because of this “inspirational” eater I call Mikey. No matter what I am baking or cooking he seems to find his way into the kitchen. He is a picker. He will stand at the stove and take the largest “sample” bites in the world. It makes me crazy. His small bites are my meal and it disappears quickly.  Although he inspires me to try new and delicious foods, he must always be shooed out of my kitchen. Unless he is helping me, then I never seem to mind. I’m from a small town but always wanted to live in the city where my parents grew up. My mother has taught me how to share life, stories and love through food. She has fed many mouths and is the reason I have such a passion for baking and cooking. My happiness comes from the Lord, who has blessed me beyond what I could have ever imagined! I have the most amazing husband, family and friends, and I hope through this blog I am able to make many more lasting relationships!
