Hi! I’m so glad you’ve joined me on my journey! 2020 is here, and I’m stepping out on a new adventure which started for me 10 years ago.
You see, 10 years ago, I made a YouTube video for a recipe-Sausage Cream Cheese Rolls. I used it as an entry into a Philadelphia Cream Cheese competition. I didn’t win the competition, and the video had about 5 views. Woot!
Well, fast-forward to today, and in the last 2 weeks or so, that video now has over 30,000 views. Wow! Now, I know in the large scheme of things, that is not a ton of views, but for me, it felt like a ton.
So, I got to thinking. I’ve learned a lot in those 10 years since I made that video. I’ve tweaked that recipe, created tons more, and in general just learned a lot about life and food. I’ve chatted with friends about creating more videos and starting a blog, and they all tell me to to go for it!!
Whoa boy. You see, I’m a doubter. I like to know success will be around the corner if I try a new thing, and I kept telling my friends, “But it’s just me. What can I share?” But thank goodness, sweet friends and the Good Lord shook some sense into me, and I thought, “It is just me.”
It’s Just Leigh.
So here I am. I’ll share cooking videos with you guys of real food I’m fixing at my table. Sometimes, it’s going to be super healthy. Sometimes, it’s going to make my southern grand mama proud, and sometimes it’s going to require processed ingredients.
But, it’s me. It’s who I am. I’m a homeschooling mom of 2 with little time to spare. But I want to share recipes, tips, tricks, and tools to make your life a little easier. Ask me questions. Give me suggestions. I hope to build a community of people who just love to be with other people, share good food, and love one another.
So come along on this journey. It’s just me. I’m simple, but I’m so glad you’re here.
And to get things rolling, check out that first video. The southern twang-she’s strong here! But stay tuned till the end. You can see me today with some control on that twang. Or control until I have to tell my kids to stop misbehaving. 🙂
