The World Needs a New Foodie Blog

Right? Ha, ha. No the world has plenty of us babbling on about enjoing food and the art of cooking. I am the one who needed another blog. Posts here will be all about the ways I enjoy spending my spare time. I love to cook and entertain. I enjoy a nice glass of wine and a good novel. I love traveling to new places and experiencing local cuisine. Everyone has hobbies and pursuits that they enjoy; Here I share a few of mine with you.

I will start with a very popular topic --- FOOD.

My kitchen is my art studio. I enjoy every aspect of preparing a meal -- from selecting recipes and ingredients, to the chopping and measuring, to the active cook time and then -- most of all--enjoying something the resulting flavors. I also enjoy sharing my culinary efforts with friends and family. My husband has been my taste tester for about 15 years now and there have only been a few failures.

I especially enjoy trying new recipes and tweaking them to perfection. Sometimes I even make up a few recipes of my own. You will find my original and customized recipes here, along with any sources of inspiration. Some of my favorites are Epicurious.com, MyRecipes.com and Allrecipes.com. and Southern Living.
