Welcome to Mimi's Eats! I am Mimi: a wife, "bonus" mom, and "bio" mom, with a passion for cooking and a full-time job on the side. My family is comprised of my husband (Chef Daddy), my bonus daughter (Chef E, in second grade), our youngest daughter (Chef S, in preschool), and a very hungry rescue mutt named Lilly. This site is dedicated to Chef E's request to begin documenting our family's culinary adventures.
Why use the name Mimi and what's with the slogan?
When I first entered Chef E and Chef Daddy's life, Chef E didn't know what to call me. Eventually, she pulled together the name Mimi... and it stuck! As for the waffles? Just before Chef Daddy and I married, Chef E was watching Snow White on a lazy Saturday. She informed me that the bad queen in the movie was Snow White's stepmother. She raised her angelic eyes to mine and asked quite pointedly: "Are you a good queen, or a bad queen?"
I was stunned... and before I could stop myself, the first words that flew out of my mouth were: "That queen has red apples. I am a good queen because I don't have red apples... I make waffles!"
And so it began. A kitchen which has never housed a red apple and a family with a passion for cooking. Thank you for following our journey and please return soon!
-Mimi
