Welcome to Sugar Dish (Me)! I’m Heather, resident mommy, home cook, baker, and sugar dish maker. 
I’ve been making messes in the kitchen since I was a little kid and my momma handed me a copy of her church cook book and told me, “If you can read, you can cook.”
My family thanks you, Mom.
I live in the Middle-of-Nowhere, North Carolina. I wish I were exaggerating. We don’t even have Target. Residing with me are my two completely adorable, brilliant, and slightly annoying little boys, Andrew and Evan. I write about them often. I think they like it. They also like the homemade treats that this blog puts in their lunch boxes. The boys and I share a home with my boyfriend (to be clear that word really does nothing to explain the depth of our relationship, but that’s as accurate a term as the English language allows), Chad, who clomps around in work boots, fixes everything that breaks (the kids and I manage to break lots of stuff…), and happily critiques my cooking.
We also have a little kitty. Her name is Norma Jean (aka Danger Kitty). She was discovered under one of our trees one night, most certainly feral, half-starved, and looking like owl food. She is now quite fat and sassy, but still reverts to her wild ways several times a day. No feet are safe in this house.
Coffee is kind of my life blood… I think I’m not a very nice person without it. I have an affinity for baked goods. At home, I am ALWAYS in bare feet. I’m pretty sure that I am completely incapable of cleaning the house without the TV on in the background, unless there’s music. Because my life has a soundtrack in my head. I hope yours does, too.
What will you find here?
Basically whatever strikes my fancy on any given day.
Sometimes I post quick weeknight meals… other days I will drown you in chocolate. Those are the best of days. I try to provide real recipes with real ingredients because this is REAL LIFE. I don’t like driving to 14 stores to find obscure things that I’ll only use once; my recipes reflect that. I also don’t own a million fancy kitchen gadgets (someday….?) so my methods tend to be pretty simplistic. I have no formal training, though I have paid my dues in the restaurant industry. I’ve waited many a table, spent hours chopping vegetables and mashing potatoes as a prep cook, catered banquet events, sold cheesecakes to local restaurants, and lavished everyone in my life with waaaaay too many muffins and cookies.
I love a good cookie. 
If you have questions or would like to send virtual cookies, you can email me at heather [at] sugardishme [dot] com. You can also find me on Facebook, or follow me on Instagram and/or Pinterest. I love hearing from you!!! Seriously.
I also really like to know how recipes you’ve tried have worked out… submitting photos on Sugar Dish Me’s Facebook Page is completely acceptable. And exciting!
I appreciate each and every reader from the bottom of my heart. Truly.
I like your stories!
and the boyfriend with the sexy abs and work boots don’t sound too bad either.
Thanks! And he is definitely pretty great
Stop me before I start gushing inappropriately
ha ha nice intro!

Thanks, Lilly Sue!! That is so thoughtful!
You are welcome! I absolutely love your blog!
Greetings from Australia Heather,
Glad that your “Momma” (that sounds very cute actually) taught you how to cook. It’s a great way to relax, express ones’ creativity and best of all share a meal with loved ones be they family or friends. All the best in far away “middle of nowhere” California.
God bless
What you’ve created here is just beautiful, exciting and just down right charming! Your wit and humor mix perfectly with your creativity…just so taken a back. I wish you everything in the world a million times over. I will always be a fan!

Heather (F) C!! You are so sweet! Thank you so much. That means the world to me! Love you to pieces- H
Hello Heather. I have been following your food blog and wanted to know if you might be interested in me publishing you. I’m starting a small publishing company and feel you would be a great cook book if you might be interested. I hope to hear from you.
