Welcome!

I love food! I love to look at it. I love to look through cooking magazines. I love to watch cooking shows (although I don't as much anymore). I love to cook, but my family is very finicky and doesn't eat much. I have to be very careful about the recipes I chose to try or else I'm gonna be eating it all and I don't need that!!

I truly believe that people in this country take food for granted. They think of it as "nourishment" only and I use the quotes because McDonalds is NOT what I consider nourishment. I'm thinking that may be why America is the fattest country in the world. Food should be enjoyed with all of the senses. It should be pretty and it should be made with care. Food can foster traditions that last through generations. Food can bring people together. Food is amazing when it is prepared by loving hands and not by hands making minimum wage (not that there's anything wrong with that). Kids today feed from bags like horses. Chip bags and fast food bags. They eat on the run. Many kids today will not be able to cook when they get older! How crazy is that?!

Okay, I'll hop off my soap box now. LOL! I stink at maintaining a blog, but I'll try and hopefully you'll visit often and enjoy! Thanks for visiting!
