Dieting Domestic Diva

Thanks for visiting my cooking journal!  My name is Kelly.  I call myself the Dieting Domestic Diva because I'm usually dieting (maybe you are, too!), and I love all the expressive parts of homemaking: decorating, cooking, crafting, sewing, knitting, celebrating holidays...you get the idea.  I am the Diva of my kitchen, singing my own melody of creative concoctions.  I'm a self-taught, food loving, nearly-but-not-quite-gourmet cook.  My spare time is spent writing, reading, hunting, strolling the beach, and watching Food Network.

On the other hand, I'm not big on chores.  I have to force myself to fold laundry and wash dishes.  The downside of cooking is definitely the dishes.  Yikes!

It's not always this deplorable.  But when it is, I'm grateful that the Health Department doesn't stop by to shut me down!

[My sister thinks I should clarify that my kitchen doesn't usually look like this.  I am not typically a slob, and cooking conditions are generally acceptable!]

My family includes a Hubby, a Kiddo and a Husky-Lab. They love sports, camping, and  watching Spongebob Squarepants.  Together, we all enjoy church activities, playing games, traveling and drinking milkshakes.  We are living large under God's grace in the northland, near the shores of beautiful Lake Superior.
