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! =)

Hi, I wanted to let you know that I’ve nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award. I love your site!
Thank you so much for the nomination! I really appreciate it! But I don’t do awards anymore since I’m so short on time. Thanks for thinking of my blog!
Thank you for stopping by and showing love!
We have just started and are into food as well so would love to see more recipes from you 🙂
Oh, forgot to mention, wallflower is my favorite flower!
Dude, move to Dallas. Dental Hygienists are in demand here, you’ll have no prob landing a gig. Your post on asparagus couldn’t have come at a more apropos time, my youngest (super finicky) loves it, it is grilling season, and I am on done with this darn kid eating nothing but rice and cereal. I have stopped eating cereal grains except on the rare occasion, have lost 40 pounds in the last couple of years, and have cut my insulin requirements in half. (I’m juvenile diabetic, so I’ll be taking insulin till the day I die). I am not overweight, 5’9 and 155 pounds, my LDL is 47, my HDL is 87, and my triglycerides are 35 (my doctor makes me get blood work done every 6 months). I say bring on the veggies!!!! And the high fat meats, of course….
