About Me

Welcome to my blog! I am Wanda and I recently left my career of 28 years to start a new adventure. My goal is to live my happiest life with my husband, Randy, and our cat, Sophie. North Carolina is our home and I love it here because there are so many things to do and places to explore. I have a twin sister, Rhonda. We are always spending time together, talking about our next big trip, and cooking up something delicious.

I love to cook and believe that if you want to be healthy, you have to cook for yourself. Knowing what’s in your food and especially what’s not is super important. I plan to share lots of recipe ideas and reviews for ingredients to help make mealtimes simple, delicious, and fun.

I am an avid reader and a Harry Potter fanatic. I look forward to sharing my love of both with you all. I love to travel and see new places but I usually stick to short trips because I don’t like to leave my cat alone for too long. Warm and sunny destinations top my list. I love the beach and am happiest when my toes are in the sand. Randy and I also like to visit friends and family in South Carolina and Pennsylvania.

Randy had the opportunity to travel the world while in the Navy and happily retired in 1998. He served on the USS Moosbrugger, a destroyer, the USS Holland, a sub tender, and the USS Cape St. George, a cruiser.

Thanks for dropping in. I hope you will join me in my next chapter and will enjoy it as much as I plan to!
