Welcome to my site!
My name is Andrea. I’m a registered dental hygienist with an obsession with food. I can’t stop talking about it (ask my friends!) or looking for my next favorite dish whether it’s from a restaurant or made in my own kitchen. While I’m not working in a dental office, I can be found cooking and photographing food in my kitchen.
This blog will feature tons of recipes, weekly finds, blogging tips, and occasional peeks into my personal life.
I hope that you will enjoy browsing through my blog and experimenting with food recipes. I know that it can be difficult to find time to cook when you’re balancing so many other things in your life, but my hope is that you will find that cooking can be fun, relatively simple, and stress free. Because really, why would we want to add extra stress in our lives, right?
I want my readers to be able to have fun cooking as well as enjoy what they eat. After all, what’s the point of eating if you don’t like what you eat? Which means just because I use certain ingredients in my recipe does not mean that you can’t substitute in some of your favorite ingredients. I’ll even make suggestions for inspiration.
Anyways, have fun and enjoy yourselves!
If you have questions or comments and would like to contact me, please feel free to email me at cookingwithawallflower@gmail.com, message me on Facebook, or send me a Tweet. I’m sure we’ll get to know each other well really soon! =)

Thanks for the like! I appreciate the feedback. I’m not a fan of zucchini (much to my wife’s dismay), and I never thought I’d say anything like this, but your Cajun Corn and Cheese made the zucchini look almost good.
Andrea| Cooking with a Wallflower says
Thanks! I know not everyone likes zucchinis (or cauliflowers for that matter), but sometimes I think it’s what you pair it with that makes a difference. =)

Perhaps it is, at that; but I admit that I’m not overly willing to test the theory.
Andrea| Cooking with a Wallflower says
That’s okay. lol. I’m the same way with the foods I don’t like. Have a great end of the week!

Lovely pictures. Can you share what camera you use and what lighting techniques. Food is hard to shoot well. Very nice pics.
Andrea| Cooking with a Wallflower says
Thank you! Actually, believe it or not, the photos in all posts, except maybe two posts, are with an iPhone 4. Completely out of date. lol. But the trick is to use natural lighting. Usually, I try to take photos before 4-5 pm when the sunlight isn’t as harsh so there’s less of a dark shadow. I play with different angles to try to get the shot I want. Most of the time, I think the best view is from the top down. Thanks for visiting my blog =)
