Hi! Welcome to Appetizers & Entrees!
You can call me Chelle, which is one of many nicknames, or Lavanda Michelle, which is my full first name. Either way, I’m a self-taught COOK from Illinois. I love sharing my favorite recipes on this food blog.
I’m one of the voices, authors, and creators behind Appetizers and Entrees. This Appetizers & Entrées food blog was born out of my love for cooking and eating with my family and friends. I began documenting my recipes online, not only because I enjoy cooking, but because I love using my food to comfort, celebrate, and enjoy other people.
Appetizers & Entrees is my little slice of the recipes and food blog internet! I am a Midwestern girl by birth, who recently moved south with my husband, Tim, and our three daughters, Zyan, Zoey, and Zaya, to turn our dreams into reality. We recently adopted two puppies Zeus and Zero.
I ABSOLUTELY love FOOD!
On this food blog, We are always sharing FRESH, FLAVORFUL, and sometimes HEALTHY RECIPES that we love to make and eat in our everyday life. If we wouldn’t eat it, we wouldn’t put it on this food blog. My desire is to inspire you with tasty recipes that are both EASY TO MAKE and DELICIOUS, whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, or your friends. We want you to be so excited about these recipes that you can’t wait to go home and start cooking.
I ABSOLUTELY love seeing the delicious food that you’re cooking and eating. It will TRULY make my day if you tag @appetizersandentrees.
LIFE outside the KITCHEN!
Along with all the recipes, I also use the blog to share bits and pieces of my life outside the kitchen – from photos of my FAVORITE trips, restaurants we visit, to life as a WIFE and MOM.
- TRAVEL: From living in North Carolina, and visiting our family and friends all over the states. Which you can take a look at here.
- BEING A WIFE: Sharing my life with Tim these last 20 years has been some kind of special. I share are challenges and successes for a HEALTHY LOVING MARRIAGE. With great date night ideas.
- MOTHERHOOD: In June 2002, we welcomed our 1st baby girl Zyan into the world. Soon after we welcomed 2 more girls Zoey in 2005 and Zaya in 2006. I’ve written a lot about them and my experiences with motherhood, which you can take a look at here.
- DOG PARENT: We got our boys, Zeus joined our family in 2018 and Zero joined our family in 2021. You can waste your day away looking at pictures of them here.
- HOME STUFF: We moved from our home in Illinois in 2012. Since then we have moved to North Carolina and we enjoy decorating and remodeling.
I also share about my life on my lifestyle blog Instagram @LavandaMichelle. I’d love it if you followed me there too!
