We started this blog because we are very passionate about food.
Hello, I am Cliff. I am also the photographer/computer guy for livelovepasta.com. I married my wonderful wife Kara on 8/31/2008. The family also consists of our miniature pinscher Juno. Not only did I get to marry the woman of my dreams, but I also gained a wonderful family too. Kelly, who also works on livelovepasta.com, is the best sister-in-law I could have ever asked for. Although I can probably cook just as good as either of them, I prefer being behind the lens of my Canon EOS 40D. Photography has been one of my favorite hobbies since I fell in love with it in high school. I have been passionate about photography ever since. My all-time favorite time to take photos is when I’m traveling with Kara to new and exciting places. The part about this blog that I am going to enjoy most of all is being able to share my photos and memories. I hope you enjoy our site and check back often.

My name is Kara, I am sister to Kelly and wife to Cliff. I am also one of the cooks here at livelovepasta.com. Cooking and eating have always played a big part in my family. Some of my best memories include my Dad and my Uncle rolling out pizza after pizza for family dinners, and huge pasta dinners cooked by my Grandparents every Sunday. My hope is that this blog will provide an opportunity to share some of my favorite foods with you so that you too can create family meals that everyone will remember.
When I’m not in the kitchen I enjoy traveling with my husband as often as I can. Our most recent trip was to Rome, where we ate pizza, pasta, gelato and hot chocolate everyday!
I’m Kelly, one of the cooks/bakers/foodies behind livelovepasta.com. I started this blog in 2011 along with my sister, Kara and her husband, Cliff. My goal is to share irresistible recipes with others and improve my own culinary skills.
When I’m not blogging or spending time with my family and friends, I enjoy practicing yoga, reading and being mom to my 4-year-old doxie. I work downtown and live just outside the city.
Growing up, my grandma lived by the motto ‘if there are no leftovers then I didn’t cook enough food’. Needless to say, I grew up eating great! Because I’ve been spoiled with homemade Italian cooking for as long as I can remember, I knew I too would need to learn the art of cooking. Recently it’s become a hobby of mine, and while Kara is an awesome cook, my passion is baking. Thanks for visiting our site and please check back often!
Hi Kelly:
I found your blog! Hope the GS Samoa cupcakes came out well and that the partygoers were impressed that you had GS Cookies right off the truck
Looking forward to seeing the recipe here; although, my family’s supply of Samoas is going fast. If you need any more cookies, be sure to stop by Culver’s on Mannheim and Touhy in Rosemont on Sat. 2/19 from 11:30-3:00pm.

Thanks again for accommodating my crazy cookie requests! The recipe was outstanding. Might be my new favorite cupcake. It will post next Tuesday so make sure you check back then.
I will try to stop by on Saturday; I’ve been thinking of the new Dulce de Leches ever since I left Lincoln

Thanks Lauren! I am glad you like it!
Hi you three:
What a treat. I got into your listing, from the Google prompt, and found so many postings. I wasn’t sure where to begin. After checking the garlic bread with Emma, my grand daughterm, I looked at Creme Bruelle. Oh that one scares me. I allow myself to have it, shared with friends, every birthday. I know what it has but you just reminded me and gave me guilt. But, once a year, what the heck!
I then checked your introduction. That is what I will link to friends, for I want them to know how lucky we are to have Kara and Kelly in our family. Cliff is a gift, but having him find Kara is magic. I can’t wait to see photos of DC and NY, and I’ll be watching Live, Love Pasta.
I know it isn’t easy keeping it up, but I’ll be crushed if you stop. So will many others.
Love you guys and I miss you. This daily posting reduces the many miles.
Laurie Smith, Gigi, Ron, Laura, Emma, Stella.

(Yes, I’m from Texas so the “y’all” is in my DNA) I think it is fabulous how close you three seem. The love shines through and it is wonderful to see/read.
Just wanted to say Congrats to having a rockin’ site and Congrats to being very blessed with cooking and photography talents.
Keep up the awesome work!! Rock on and Eat on
