In the beginning

Food is a part of everyone’s life.

I started baking with my Grandfather when I was about 6, it was cookies and cakes. I learned very early on that I enjoyed the experience. Not only the spending time with my Grandfather but the learning how to bake.

It wasn’t until I was in my late teens I attempted to cook dinner, which went badly. I’ve since improved, except when it comes to meats I’m still very much a learner there.

My parents were not great in the kitchen my Dad can only make two meals, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (from a box) and fried breakfasts. My Mom couldn’t bake at all and used to burn chill and slice cookies and her Chicken was normally offensive to the cats.

Still, I do love being in the kitchen but I prefer baking as it is more of an art to me. It looks pretty and tastes pretty. I also have my Nana to thank for my Sweet Tooth which is probably the size of Texas.

I’ll be posting recipes and experiences as I go. Enjoy!

  1. It isn't baking or sweet stuff... but I had to share the news! While we were in Spain I bought some provolone to bring home. Cheesesteak time!
