Hi there and welcome to Carrots and Sweets!
My name is Valerie and I live in sunny Arizona with my family. I am a wife, homeschooling mom of two, and I cook a melting pot of flavor packed nourishing food on the daily. I’ve had a passion for cooking these past 30+ years. As a mom, I understand coming up with menu ideas (the entire family will eat without getting the look of disapproval at the plate set before them) can be challenging, but not exactly impossible. Then there are nights you are rushing off to a work event, various sports events, or school activities, and dinner is the last thing on your mind. That’s where I come in. I would love to be part of your weekly meals as I bring you simple and approachable recipes that will become a staple in your own home. Not only will the recipes be packed with a flavor punch, they will be nourishing for you and your entire family. I will give you tips to expedite your cooking process and make dinner prep more approachable. So come into my kitchen, pull up a chair, and let’s get started. Look at my latest recipes and see what my cooking is all about. Let the cooking commence!
