About Meredith

Hello friends, my name is Meredith Stiles. My husband and I have spent the last year learning and living in downtown Chicago, but we both come from the great, corn state of Iowa. Knowing of each other for half of our lives we never really connected until July 2010. We started dating and got married a little over a year later! We both come from amazing families and although we are really excited to start a family someday, that is down the road aways (unless God has other plans). 

My husband is my best taste-tester. If it wasn't for his honesty I would most likely be a bad cook, but it does help that he LOVES to eat! And I love cooking for him, whenever I'm in the kitchen the music is cranked. Whether it be Chris August, Katy Perry, Jessa Anderson, Ben Rector or Rascal Flatts-- some type of music has to be on.

 I grew up in a loving and caring Christian home. I'm blessed beyond measure with the amazing family that I have. I have great memories with my 3 older siblings. Being the baby wasn't always the easiest but it definitely had it's advantages when everyone left home.

I have loved cooking since I was younger. My dad has always called me his "little Betty Crocker". I'd sit in the kitchen and watch my mom make dinner, or sometimes I'd even play restaurant and set the whole kitchen up like I was hosting and be my family's waitress. I would say cooking comes    natural to me.

As you can tell, I love to cook (and bake!) and I guess that's the point of this blog, to put my skills and recipes to the test. I am all about eating organic and natural foods. Not everything on this blog will be the healthiest but it is my goal to help some of you and your families to start eating right and living a healthy lifestyle!  Bon appétit!
