My vision for this site is to become an all-things-eat-drink-and-be-merry place to post recipes and pictures of flavorful and nutritious food, gadget and cookware reviews, my experiments & misadventures in testing new recipes in my kitchen, sharing thoughts on food, cooking, and baking from someone who thinks she finally figured out what she wants to do / be when she grows up…cook, play foodtographer, feed people, and make them smile. Mostly though, it's about having fun with cooking.
I’ve been trying recipes, making food, and sharing with others off and on over the years depending on my enthusiasm and encouragement at any given time. I’ve shared the tasty results of my efforts with coworkers over the years, and I’ve been bombarding my friends and family with recipes I think they might like.
Sadly, The Mister is a very picky eater and reluctant to allow me to delight and/or insult his taste buds, whichever may be the case. I’ve learned to work around it and though it may take years, eventually he’ll come around to at least tasting something different.(Disclaimer: This is not his picture, but I'm sure I've seen a similar expression when I've presented him with Mushroom Sauce for his steak.)
I believe in using the freshest ingredients from local sources as much as possible. I’m not likely to post odd ingredients that you can’t otherwise find at your local big box grocery store. No foie gras here (poor duckies) or octopus tentacles. No caviar or quail eggs. And I’m not buying into putting fried eggs on a bed of frisee and calling it GorMay. You won’t find micro servings and probably not even the fancy sauce pulled across the plate underneath the main ingredient (well, probably not).
Some recipes are not perfect. I’ll share the bad with the good, the successes and failures. I have a rough time with bread, and apple pie is just a crapshoot for me. Sometimes I get it, other times, not so much.
