Welcome To My Mint Kitchen

My name is Andi, and I'm a self-taught "chef."

My husband, CM, is my guinea pig for everything I make, and I really don't think he minds. The best sign is if he goes for second servings. I find my recipes online from copious amounts of time with Google and Pinterest. I always adjust them to my taste preferences because I'm a little on the picky side. Usually I remove things that I hate (garlic!), or I'll add something I positively love (cinnamon or carrots). Also, I'm addicted to my Crockpot.

I have two amazing little boys, AB (2 years old) and CD (a newborn), who run my life. I'm in a constant state of being half-asleep, in danger of stepping on Mega Bloks, and I'm always changing a diaper, but the hugs and kisses are worth every minute. We also have an Australian Shepherd, Zoey, who is our 3rd baby, but she follows directions a lot better and doesn't require diaper changes.My family is probably the most amazing thing in my life, and every single thing I do is for them. I most certainly wouldn't trade a single dirty diaper, sleepless night, or messy house for anything else in this world.

My husband was formerly in the Army National Guard, and he recently reenlisted. After leaving the NG, he became a civilian contractor and spent the next two years, on and off, in Afghanistan. We met at the airport in 2010 when he was about to leave for deployment. It was love at first sight, and we got married after his deployment ended in June of 2011. He's my soulmate.

We've completely renovated our house, and one of my favorite rooms is the kitchen. We painted it a beautiful mint color, hence the name of this blog. I'll be sharing many of my favorite recipes, as well as events from my crazy life as a mom and Army wife.

I would love nothing more than to hear from any of my readers, so feel free to comment on posts, share them, or even send me emails at mintkitchenlove@gmail.com. You can also find me on Bloglovin', and I'll be on Pinterest shortly!

Thank you so much for stopping by Mint Kitchen Love!
