Intro - Yes I'm One of Those People

 Hi, My name is Imagine Anne Morgan. I'm a pastel goth lady that loves to cook. I decided to create a blog since people have been asking for my recipes on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/imagine_anne_morgan/?hl=en  I post a lot of pictures of food and it's easier for me to include all my recipes here instead of trying to format them in the captions since they turn out unreadable. (I know I already tried). Along with cooking I'm also an artist. I'm not currently taking commissions since I don't know how the selling art side of it works. I'm a cat lady with four cats as well and my style is cottage-core pastel goth hence the title. What to expect? Recipes the occasional cat picture food all home  cooked occasional posts on handmade crafts more food (not sorry). I hope you enjoy my blog and recipes. Imagine Anne Morgan
