Sally’s Sweet Shoppe

Having my own storefront is a dream of mine. I don’t exactly know when this dream developed but I think I’ve discovered how…

When I first moved away from home, I didn’t really know where I was going and in what direction my life was leading. All I knew was that I needed a fresh start and a fresh start was exactly what I found. I moved to Las Vegas 8 years ago and have been floating about ever since. I don’t really have a career, per se, unless you count the amazing skills I’ve expanded through the many assistant jobs I’ve had. Actually, I shouldn’t marginalize what I’ve learned in my numerous years as an administrator. It’s taught me a lot about the virtues of organization and honed my gift of multi-tasking (more on this subject later).

Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yes, the Sweet Shoppe dream… Well, as I was saying, I moved away from home and I was wholly unprepared. I knew how to cook all the basics (eggs, rice, pancakes, etc.) but I never looked at cooking as an art form. I cooked because I was hungry and when I wasn’t hungry, I didn’t give it a second thought. As the years passed, I came to have a real appreciation for cooking, and baking especially, and I began to try my hand at preparing various dishes and baked delights.
Pretty soon, I was branching off and creating dishes all on my own. I was hooked. My kitchen is my workshop and the wild world of food are the paints I use to create. (Ok, that sounded supercilious, I know. But it’s true! )

This blog has had many incarnations but at the end of the day, I want it to be a reflection of my passions. My family and friends AND cooking are my passions… SO… this blog is getting a re-boot. This is not only about a single girl but a single girl with a dream. I’ll be sharing all the things that I love with you and I hope that you’ll share some with me too!
