Hello! My name is Alissa Catalano. I am currently a senior at Texas State, expected to graduate with a BS in public relations and minor in business. I got sucked into the restaurant business fresh out of high school and was promoted to management for several restaurants. At the time I thought I was making good choices toward a good career, but I soon realized I needed more. So here I am back in school. I think some say that I’m social, but I feel like I can be very shy also. I am new at a lot of the social media being utilized these days, so this is a learning process for me.
I am married with no kids, 2 big dogs, and my husband and I own a house in Austin. My husband is a 3d animator and does freelance from home. I love to run/workout, cook, sew, and read. I am currently interning for an agency in Austin and I am really enjoying it. I am the oldest of 5 wonderful siblings and 2 step-sisters. I have 5 sisters and 2 brothers. We have a very close family.
I was torn when it came to choosing a topic for my blog. I chose cooking because I crave to cook quite regularly, while I’m still learning to sew, I like to read but not often enough to talk about it, and I do stay healthy with workouts but it is a love/hate relationship. I will occasionally post images of food from other websites that I have had before and loved… recipe will always follow of course so that you can try making the recipes yourself. I would like to post my own pictures as often as possible. My goal though is to help inform people of good foods: pesticide-free, antibiotic-free, cage-free, farmers markets, and maybe even a cleanse or a diet(I don’t really believe in diets). I would also like to research and share with others on how to perfect a home garden.
I hope everyone enjoys and please feel free to give feedback. Definitely try to make some of the recipes that I post, it would be fun to talk about it.
Thanks,
Alissa Catalano
