ALOHA!

My name is Maddie Castellano and I LOVE food! To me, food is art.  There is nothing more satisfying that looking at a counter of  groceries and turning into something creative and delicious! I live on the North Shore of Oahu with the love of my life! We met as students at BYU- Hawaii and were married in July 2016. We love to cook, laugh, surf, explore and have kitchen dance parties together! 
I believe that we should fuel our bodies with whole foods that make us feel good! I do not stick to a particular diet, but I create and eat meals that leave my body feeling alive and happy. On this blog you will find fresh, flavorful and healthy meals! All meals should not take longer than an hour to make and are budget friendly. 
My point is, cooking should be FUN! Don't let it be an obligation, make it something you look forward to. Some of my favorite memories are of helping my mom cook and now Cole helping me cook! Don't be afraid of failure, it's the best way to learn! I am a young newly wed,  full time student,  and part time waitress, and I am proof that making quick, quality dinners on a budget is possible! Welcome to my kitchen, let's create together! :)
