I consider myself a foodie. I love food, I love to eat food, I even love to cook. Correction, I really love to cook, but I hate doing the dishes. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for sure, but it just might be my favorite day altogether. There is lots of cooking, lots of food and family and friends abound. These days I am a self proclaimed foodie trying to get healthy, and trying to lose weight.
My goal here is to share with you some of my favorite recipes that I don't want to die with me. But I also want to share some of your favorite recipes that I have served to you, that you don't want buried with me either. So if you want to make something that I have served you, just ask. Mostly, I want to be a resource to you, to answer your questions, if I can but to fulfill your requests as well. But I also want to share with you some of my favorite places to eat, why I go there and what I order. I also like to try to re-create a dish and I will tell you about those successes and failures as well. Together we can make the world a tastier place.
I eat almost everything, I am not real fond of lima beans but I won't throw them out of a soup , I just don't go out of my way to eat them either. I love a variety of foods and try to cook the same way. My tried and true "old" stand-byes are typically not healthy ( a child of the fifties) but they belong here too. But since I am changing the way I eat there fore the way I cook, I am watching the caloric content, the nutritional information and so forth and so far Al has lost 25 pounds and I have lost 20 pounds. I intend to include the nutritional information with my recipes whenever possible. I will also include the information a recipe might have; like vegetarian options.
It is my hope that you enjoy this food blog. I love the stories that a meal can invoke, a memory, a laugh, a total disaster. And I want to include some of those too! But I also want to know what you want to cook and what stories you want to share, especially those after you try a recipe you saw here. So lets cook, lets
talk. And remember, we bite food and sometimes food bites back!
