Hello!  My name is Allison.  I live in the Philadelphia suburbs with my boyfriend and our spoiled cat named Charlie.  I'm Italian, and I love to eat.  However, I’m not a chef.  I don’t even play one on tv.  In fact, I used to be such a terrible cook that I could burn water.  I burned rice last week.  I tried to soft boil an egg, and when I cracked it, it was still raw. 

I started Weight Watchers for the 400th time (or so it seems) in mid-January of this year.  I quickly realized just how woeful my skills really are.  At first, all I could cook was grilled chicken.  In case you’ve never lived on grilled chicken alone, you can only eat it for so long before it feels like an extreme form of punishment.

This blog is about cooking delicious, simple meals that anyone can attempt.  It’s not pretentious, and it’s not difficult.  These meals will be accessible to almost everyone.  They won’t be difficult, fussy, extremely expensive, or too time consuming.  Through this blog I will be sharing with you some of the things that I’ve cooked.  And yes, I will share with you my disasters, too.  I’m not too proud.
