Welcome to My Food Blog

Thanks to inspiration from my friend Dori and lots of encouragement from Carrie and Erum, I have decided to start a food blog. I will be posting recipes, some of which are my own creations, and some are borrowed.

In my little kitchen I believe that yummy food is always a necessity, but food can only reach its full potential when it is accompanied by great friends and lots of laughs (and sometimes a few tears). I also feel it is a key ingredient of a successful chef to own an awesome apron. I have such an apron.

However, according to my mother I am not fully aware of the purpose of an apron. She once informed me, "Somehow along the way I apparently forgot to inform you of the purpose of an apron. It is not about fashion Sweetheart, but it is about keeping your clothes clean." She attempted to explain this to me after I apologized for getting marinara sauce on her pretty apron. I guess I have still not fully comprehended the purpose of an apron because if a great possibility exists for a mess, you better believe I am in a ratty old shirt and not my pretty polka dot apron!

I really hope y'all enjoy my blog!!! Feel free to sign up to follow my blog...it makes me smile!
