This cooking web blog thing is new to me. It is starting as a way to share my love of cooking. I have bigger plans for it though...
I currently take pictures with my Crackberry because I always have it with me.
Aside from maybe taking the plate of food outside and sitting it atop my backyard grill for better lighting, I don’t stage my food. When I take a picture, someone is about to chow down on said food...usually it is me!
That may change when I get a Fancy Nancy camera.
All of the pictures are mine unless otherwise noted.
I give credit where credit is due. If I don’t remember where or who I get a recipe from I note it.
I have not had any professional training unless you count the training I had in my family’s kitchens or my own trial and error. Those teachings are priceless!
My sometimes sous cook is my cute 8 year old daughter “Babe”.
Luckily I have a healthy cooking self esteem, because she is very honest when telling me if something tastes good or bad....VERY. “I’m not trying to hurt your feelings but.....”
Cooking gadgets, pans, pots, utensils, glasses, etc....bring me Anita Baker JOY!
Lemons are my favorite fruit to cook with. It is versatile and can brighten savory or sweet dishes!
I am a self proclaimed bacon whore. I don’t care much for pork chops and I don’t like ham...but bacon can have its way with me “anytime, anywhere, anyhow”....in moderation of course.
I’d rather have a small portion of something I really want instead of a larger portion of something slated as “healthy version” (i.e. butter over margarine)
I don’t cook with lard or solid cooking oils or margarine.
I am using up all of my non-organic foods and replacing them with all organic....it is expensive as heck. I have done it in shifts to lessen the financial sticker shock.
If I had enough backyard space, I would grow my own vegetables...even though I have a brown thumb.
I hate when people shorten the word vegetable to “veggies”....*shrug*
I am planning my first at home entertaining event for Spring...go me!

go you! for planning your first home event!
good for you for making the switch to organic. i have been slowly making the switch but like you said it's hella expensive and i haven't been able to do it completely. i try to do veggies and definetely nothing but organic milk (all those gross hormones and Lord know what else in the "regular" milk), and every now and then organic meat. but since i can't really afford to do that totally I do it when I can. i was sort of led down the organic route due to other issues but am glad I was.
everything you post on here always looks so yummy.
Ginae you are so very kind!! Thank you for commenting!!
Hopefully when I get the event formula down to a science you will be able to drive down for one!
I wish you could have had that event when I was there :( I might need a reason to make a trip back to the big H, LOL.
I love kitchen gadgets too - just don't use them but they are SO COOL!
Sure hope me and the Mister can get an invite!
