About the author

My name is Renae. I live in Northern Virginia with my husband and two cats. In addition to cooking, I love to read and to travel.

Some people like to be able to visualize the person writing the blog they are reading. To assist you, I searched for ‘renae’ in my photo albums and got 799 results. I looked completely idiotic in all of them.

Interestingly, I looked the least idiotic when I was drinking the World’s Largest Margarita. Which leads me to the conclusion that I should drink more.

I am not an alcoholic.

I also don’t look like that any more.

I look more like this these days:

Only hopefully I don’t usually look quite so dorky or demented.

I tried to find a picture of me cooking or doing something more food-related, however, I am not only the cook amongst my friends, I am also the photographer, so I’m usually behind the camera, not in front of it. Which, as you can see, is best for everyone as I’m not very photogenic.

I have been known to cook entire meals dressed in a ball gown, however.
