Slightly Obsessed is a website that publishes food-oriented media for the home cook working in the home kitchen. I strive to present approachable recipes and techniques that home cooks of all skill levels will want to try themselves.<\/p>\n

Slightly Obsessed was launched in May 2013 by Michelle Matlack, home cook, cocktail goddess, and amateur photographer.<\/p>\n

By day, I’m an IT professional<\/a>. My work as a Data Analyst is NOT creative, but does align nicely with my slightly obsessive desire for order and mutually exclusive buckets. By night, cooking and cocktailing (new made-up word) serve as my creative outlets. It’s also how I win friends and influence people.<\/p>\n

I’m married to a research scientist, Keith, who is my Culinary Guinea Pig:<\/p>\n

We live inside the DC Beltway (draw your own conclusions) in The Brick House. I also work inside the Beltway, so I just realized there are days I never leave the Beltway cocoon. We have a second home about an hour outside DC on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, affectionately referred to as The Shack (we also bought a place<\/a> in Florida earlier this year). Yes, I Speak In Capitals Frequently (also in parentheticals). I’m a tad snarky, in case you didn’t notice (Janeane Garofalo<\/a> will play me in the movie version of my life).<\/p>\n

Snark aside, I love to cook for people and people love to eat my food. Nice that it works out that way, right? I’ve outgrown FaceBook as a venue for posting my food porn<\/a> pictures — because I’m not just about how the food looks, I’m all about how it tastes and the emotions it evokes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
