Hello all!
I decided to start a Food blog because of my slight obsession with cooking. Okay, make that HUGE obsession. As in, I spend about 14 waking hours a day either cooking, thinking about cooking, grocery shopping, thinking about grocery shopping, imagining super successful dinner parties I could throw, and the list goes on and on.... My boyfriend and friends find this pretty amusing and endlessly teasing me about it has become THE new favorite activity when we get together on weekend nights.
I watched my Mom cook homemade meals for my dad, brother and I all throughout my childhood and I became a permanent fixture in her kitchen - I absolutely fell in LOVE with every aspect of the cooking process, and even enjoyed the mundane tasks, such as putting the groceries away (Oh, the thrill I would get, stacking all the soup cans in a perfect 'diamond shape' in the cupboard!). I was an odd child, what do you want me to say?
When I got my first apartment at 21, I dove right into cooking. I had a few successes....and quite a few more messes.... but still I continued on. I am in my mid-20's now, and am just trying to hone my skills and become the best I can be.
I can truly say that cooking is my number one passion, and has provided a wonderful outlet for me whenever things have gotten a little hard. Through breakups and lost jobs, 3 different colleges/career changes, and bank accounts frequently under $10.00...cooking has allowed me to get thru it all, sane.
Although I am still a beginner, and have a VERY small starter kitchen that a professional chef would balk at, it doesn't deter me in the slightest. I am going to continue doing what I love, as the sense of fulfillment that cooking gives me is phenomenal. =)
