Welcome to My Blog!

A New Journey Begins

Hi!  My name is Amy.  After years of browsing my favorite blogs, I've decided to jump in and start my own.  In these uneasy times, I find myself in search of some comfort and for me that comes in two main forms...cooking and reading!  So that is what I am going to focus on...recipes for some of my favorite foods and reviews of some of my favorite books. 

The "comfort" part of this blog refers to the kind of food I like to make and eat.  I am not a fancy, adventurous eater.  I have always preferred the simple, comforting dishes my mom and gram used to put on the table.  I come from a long line of amazing cooks and I have many delicious recipes I would love to share with you.

"Joy" covers just about everything else.  Aside from cooking, my favorite thing to do is relax with a good book.  Romance books, to be exact.  I enjoy reading contemporary romance novels and sharing my favorite books with good friends.  And I have a huge collection to recommend!  In the digital age, a blog seems like a great way to do this.

Comfort food and romance novels...this is obviously not a place for culinary or literary types.  But if you enjoy the simpler things in life like I do, this blog might be the place for you.  I am still in the planning stages, but I hope you'll check back often and join me on this journey!
