I created this blog not only to show our lives as newlyweds but also to document my two other loves; food and my family. For many that really know me they know that my dream from as far as I can remember was to go to Culinary Arts school. During high school I had looked into: Johnson and Whales, Le Cordon Bleu and the CIA. However, I quickly realized that financially I would not be able to spend over $30,000 on my education. I decided to take the alternate route and head to my local JC, where I would eventually transfer to CSUSB to earn my B.A. in English. Through this time (of a hellish six-and-a-half years) I put cooking on the back burner and stuck to making fabulous holiday dinners with my Dad. My Mom describes my cooking as, “never making anything normal and simple”. Which I would have to agree with. My television is always on the food network as it has been since the channels beginning days. I never write a recipe down and barely look one up unless its baking. I have a niche for remembering what my fav celebrity cooks are whipping up and I have even written Emeril a hate note (this was when I was in the seventh grade). I collect cookbooks so they can sit on my custom cookbook bookcase my Dad built in my kitchen, but only as trophies to collect dust and to reflect on who I have met while on their book tours to Williams Sonoma. My life revolves around food and making others happy by endulging into my cooking. I wish to share with you my journey as I find that lost cook who loves nothing more than a good day’s food (but simply re-vamped of course!).
