Hello and welcome to the new Cat Tails and Cookies blog! I am very excited to bring my blog and all of the recipes from the old website to this beautiful new website. I was using a different platform and decided it no longer fit my needs. So, I decided to build a new website and refresh everything. I am so happy you have found your way over here! So, if you are new to this blog, you might be wondering, “Who are you?” and “What is the purpose of this blog?” Well, my name is Vanessa. I am married to a wonderful man named, Mike. We have two sweet cats, a very loving dog, and 6 crazy ducks. The ducks are a little harder to get nice photos of because they never stop moving, but the rest of the family is pictured above!
I have always had a passion for baking and learned to enjoy cooking in my late teens. I used to only bake things like cupcakes and cookies, but after becoming a wife, I learned the importance of baking other non-sweet things like bread, rolls, and biscuits. I also really fell into a love of cooking. So, what IS this blog all about? Mainly, it’s just me, sharing my favorite recipes that I’ve created right here in my own kitchen, and sometimes ones inspired by other recipes that I loved so much that had to put my own spin on them.
What else might you find on this blog? Well, my husband and I have always had a dream of becoming more self sufficient. In 2019, we were able to buy a house in a small mountain town and finally start making that dream a reality. My husband is a wonderful carpenter as a hobby and built our coop, where we house our ducks, and we are now able to get fresh duck eggs every day. We have spent a lot of time turning our property into a more usable space for us, so occasionally I also share posts about our garden, our ducks, and any other new adventures we embark on as new home owners and our journey to becoming more self sufficient.
I hope that you will find the recipes I’ve created as good as I do. Thank you for checking out the new Cat Tails and Cookies blog!
