About Me

Hi! Welcome to Ingredients to Dishes! My name is Nicole and am currently living in Omaha, Nebraska.  I started this blog to share recipes with friends and family.  We try and live a healthy and green lifestyle.  My husband is vegetarian and...I am not.  When cooking at home, I am vegetarian.  If we go out to dinner I will have meat.  Most of the recipes that I will share are recipes that myself and my husband prepare for our family.

I grew up with very little home cooking and it has taken me a long time to learn to cook for myself and husband.  I have made some really bad meals and more recently some very good meals.  You know the ones that make you want to do a happy dance because you realize "Maybe I really can cook after all!"  I am excited to share this journey with you.

We currently have 5 laying hens and we have a large organic garden with herbs and veggies.  No, we are not on a farm, we live in the middle of the city!  We are planning on building a greenhouse soon with hydroponics to allow us to grow veggies year round.
