I wanted to make a food blog about the everyday task of having to cook at home, you know the day after day job of making sure your loved ones are properly fed. 


I'm a professional cook, that's what I do for a living. Cooking in a restaurant on a line is a whole different animal to cooking at home. At work I'm using dealing with expensive products ie; fish, seafood, high end cuts of meat, poultry, exotic spices and oil, produce etc.. Stuff that the average family just can't afford to cook everyday. I wanted to make this blog about making beautiful, delicious, healthy, easy food... and stuff you don't have to spend hours making. Let's face it, most of us don't have much more then half an hour to make a meal for their family. I know I certainly don't! I recently had a baby who is now four months, and he doesn't let me cook for longer then half an hour most days while I sit him in a bouncer or bumbo. Plus all the other stuff you have going on in your day. So I get it! Most of my food can be made in a short amount of time, and ingredients substituted if you either just don't like them or don't have it on hand.      I'm also on a budget, so the food I make is VERY affordable. I like to cook by feel I don't measure... it's not like baking where you have to be precise or the entire recipe doesn't turn out. So have fun with your cooking, don't be scared to try cooking new things it's much easier then you think! And don't forget to season your food folks, that's one of the biggest mistakes people make... and it's such an easy fix. Happy cooking peeps!! :)
