About

Me

Hi my name is Michelle and I’m a Texas girl.    I have traveled the world and experienced food from all kinds of walks of life.  I love to cook and share my recipes with family and friends.  I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.  I love to experiment with new flavors and use my husband and kids as the test subjects!  They love it…sometimes!!

I am a US Navy Veteran turned stay at home Mom of three.  Tyler is 7, Alyssa is 5 and Kameron is 1.  I served eight years in the Navy and loved every second of it.  I was missing my husband and kids way too much so it was time to stay good bye to the Navy and hello to motherhood and wifehood.  While in the Navy I wasn’t able to cook the meals I wanted.  I was either too busy working or on deployment away from the family months at a time.  Now that I am home all the time I love to cook and love tying new recipes.  My family loves all the goodies that come from the our kitchen and I love being able to make them happy and create memories that will have forever.

I started 5 forks in November 2008.  The main reason I started blogging was because my husband said I needed to get a hobby, so I starting thinking.  I read several blogs and thought I could start my own blog and start taking pictures just for fun!  So that’s what I did!

Thanks for stopping by!
