The Background Story

Over the past couple years I have become increasingly more interested in food and all the different flavors and combinations.
I have typically stayed away from cooking because it is very subjective. I believe you have to have a lot of creativity to cook. You have to understand what flavors go together and not be afraid to try new things. Me, I love comfort and consistency, which is why I love baking so much. Baking is exact, you have to have the right measurements or else you come out with the totally wrong thing!
However, in my efforts to expand my culinary horizons (and with the addition of a new hubby), i have started to take on cooking. One of my new favorite things to do is to visit local farmers market and pick up a bunch of random produce and figure out how to make it in to something delicious!
One way i do this is feeding off of other peoples creativity. I search around on blogs and different cooking websites to figure out how people put together interesting, creative and yummy dishes.
I finally came to the conclusion that if i loved looking at all these food sites so much i might as well come up with one of my own! (giving back to the food community in a way).
Most of you know that there are millions of different culinary blogs out there, most to help educate others (which i have taken full advantage of!) and share the knowledge that the Blogger has. I however, am very young in my culinary journey and don't have much to share, which is why my blog is going to be educational for all of us! We will learn together!
I am constantly enamored with the changing seasons and the food each season yields. A flavor can be here and gone in a month! I am going to explore each month and the food and flavors it has to offer, finding new recipes and traditions commonly found in that month!

Enjoy!
