The Beginning

I love food. Duh. I had a friend say that her favorite thing about her mouth was that she could put food in it... Me too. I will probably talk about my family a lot in this since I love the relationship we have together and I believe we all share a similar relationship with food. My sister Hollie once said "food is such a great way to show people you love them." I never thought about it that way till she said that out loud. My mother, whom is no longer with us, cooked three meals a day for our family growing up, probably even more. That's a lot of love. I have always loved to bake, my mother turned me on to baking at a very early age. I entered in sweet treats at 4H in the Kane county fair, and even took a rice crispy treat to the Illinois state fair when I was about eight. She gave me cook books, aprons, among other utensils, which I now find to have been a silent encouragement and preparation for my future.

I am now 25 years old, I live in Nashville TN. and I am not a chef...I am a hairdresser. I have always been known to have many talents, so when it came down to what was going to make me money, it was hair that I chose.

I never thought of food as something you could do for a living.

I enjoy cooking food, experimenting with food, and most of all tasting food.

I have recently started having dinner parties for my friends, small catering jobs here and there, have found friends who share the joy of cooking with me, and have been more aware in the foods I am tasting a local establishments.

This blog will be mt journal into the food world, in my home, in others, as well as restaurants and all my experiences with food. I will also share recipes so you can try them as well!
