I've been inspired by so many amazing bloggers out there I thought I'd finally take the plunge into the blog pool myself. The concept for Preppy in the Pantry originally started out as a venue to post my collection of recipes for friends who were asking for them. I thought a blog would be a neat and tidy place for long distance pals to look up their favorite dishes and maybe keep up with my life in the process.
For the past 6 years I've worked in the food industry (and for those of you who know where I currently work, I'd prefer you keep that information to yourself. Thanks!) and prior to that I spent six months completing culinary school. Naturally, much of my life revolves around food: eating it, styling it, writing about it, and most of all, cooking it. While my passion for food and cooking will never go away, over the past few months I have come to realize I am much more than the recipes I write and the food I make. I am an only child and a best friend. I'm an avid skier and a Phillies fan. I'm a bad dancer and my driving skills are debatable. I'm a Taurus and I live on a boat in the summertime. I'm a Junior League volunteer and a comedienne. I am always overdressed. The point being, it just didn't seem right for me to limit my blog to only recipes.
Preppy in the Pantry won't be for everyone and it might not end up being for anyone but myself, but if you decide to stick with it, please bear with me while I work out the kinks of blogging and I figure out how to fit it into my crazy, fun, and hectic life. I promise I'll try to make it worth your while.
