My first post!

Welcome to my new blog! My name is Elle, and I have lived in New England all of my life. In these posts, I want to share with you the things we like to eat--some are typical New England foods, some are not, but they're all good! I've collected a lot of recipes over the years, and this will be a good place to keep them all, and to finally take photos of them, as long as I can keep the family away from things long enough to get a good shot!

I live with my husband and our 4 kids, along with an assortment of pets. You can expect to hear about them once in a while, too, since I don't get a whole lot of peace and quiet in a house with five other people and six animals.

I'll also be telling (and showing) you about a lot of the places we love to visit, and there are a lot. We've got it all here--beaches, country, city, and mountains.

So I hope you'll stay tuned, visit often, and please introduce yourselves. Thanks!

I'll leave you today with a couple of pics from one of our favorite places on the coast. And while I adore winter and snow, summer in New England is gorgeous. These are from Great Island Common, in New Castle, NH. I took these a couple of years ago, and it's a place we visit all the time in the summer and fall.
