Passionate About Food

I'm normally not a blog type person...not that I'm against blogs, but sadly, I'm lazy, and keeping up with a blog just doesn't fit into my "lazy" mantra. But, one thing I'm definitely not lazy about is FOOD. Shopping for food, cooking food, plating food, eating food...I LOVE IT ALL!! =) So, what better way to document my passion for all thinks sweet, spicy, salty and sour (and sometimes bitter) than to start a blog? Ok, so I guess I'm going to have to get over my laziness, but I figure that if I keep the topics related to FOOD, then I should be equally passionate for it as well, right?

Right......So......

So why am I so passionate about food? What's not to love?? Food gives us so much! Food can evoke so many emotions: happiness, giddyness, sadness, nostalgia, pain, fear, euphora. Food is exciting and yet it can be calming. When I come home from a long day or if I've had a really rough day, nothing relaxes me more than to be in the kitchen, preparing a delicious meal--a meal that will bring me back to that happy place =) And when I take the time to cook a meal or test a new recipe, nothing makes me happier than to see the approving faces of my dear family, friends or guest. You see, food is so wonderful this way...it can be so rewarding and giving, so classy and humble.

Ahh....just talking about my love makes me so mellow and happy right now. Maybe this blog thing won't be as hard as I think. So for anyone who wants to listen to me rant and ramble about my love for food--whether it be about shopping for food, creating a new recipe or just anything that may cross my mind about food--please feel free to stop by and chime in. All positive and happy thoughts are welcome!

For now, just live, love, eat and be happy!!
