Hi there! Welcome to my little world on the web. My name is Bekah, I am married to my best friend, Nathan, and we have a corgi and a cat. We live in a really small house in the country, near Monterey, and Santa Cruz, California.
I have always loved to feed others and share food with others. Ever since I was old enough I asked for a dinner night at home so that I could cook dinner once a week. I think my mom liked that! I have been obsessed with food and cooking since I can remember. As Ive gotten older and gotten married I have enjoyed cooking for my own family, I love having people over for dinner and I love reading cookbooks. I own so many cookbooks it’s not even funny.
I have always been somewhat conscious of the grocery budget but considering I love to cook so much often times I would go a bit crazy at the grocery store. I started getting serious about keeping my grocery budget in check when we started using the cash envelope system for our budget. I realized I needed to be a little bit more creative and frugal. As I talked to my friends about it I realized I was not the only one who wanted to eat well but keep to a budget. So that’s how this blog was born. I want to help everyone to eat great food on a budget.
Besides cooking you will find me hiking, trying out new breweries and restaurants in my area, reading lots of books and spending time with my husband, my corgi, and my cat. My corgi’s name is Rory and she is really something special. Last year she suffered a traumatic back injury and was diagnosed with IVDD. It was a rough road but she has healed very well. We took her to rehab every week for about 6 months and she has pretty much made a full recovery. Thanks for stopping by my little corner on the web!
