About Me

My name is Abby Normal. Ok, not really, there are too many crazies in the world for you to know my real name. I'm being mysterious. So stalk someone else.


I'm happily married to my best friend. We have been married almost 11 years. We have 3 kids. Bailey, Prancer and Blaze. Bailey is a boxer, who you can read about here, Prance and Blaze are mini schnauzers who you can see here. We don't have any 2 legged children and aren't planning on adding any by birth, adoption or kidnapping (just kidding). We rent out our neices and newphews during school holidays and get our kid fill then.

Last year, a few months before my 30th birthday, I went back to college. So my 30ies have started off with a lot of firsts. Most people do that when they are in their 20ies, but I always wanted to be different.  If you care to read the highlights and sometimes low points of my first year as a 30 year old,  you can find those here at Life begins at 30.

I work for a small custom sheetmetal fabrication shop as their bookkeeper, office manager, secretary, and gopher. I love my job, and I actually dread leaving this place. I have only missed 3.5 days of work in 2.5 years. That's how much I love my job.

I love to cook, and if you are interested in those ramblings and pictures then stick around and enjoy (except for the pictures, a photographer I am not).  All of these recipes are shared with you in their original condition.  I share with you what changes I made, and then any other comments that might be benefical for you to know. 

Now let's get cooking!
