Love to eat, Love to Cook More!!

When you love to eat but love to cook more!

There are few things in life that bring me more pleaser than to cook fantastic flavored food for others to enjoy! There is something so intriguing, so fascinating about watching others (professionals or not) cook and create what they know will be a delicious meal you are about to eat! I think having a "nose" for foods, spices...is a huge part of being a creative cook. I know probably more than half the time when I am searching my pantry and fridge to see what pops out at me to start creating a meal for my family. It is truly fun for me to see one item in the cupboard...then my wheels start turning. I start thinking mmmm...what else would be really good with this item...then I turn to my spice cupboard and HONESTLY the best way to choose spices and seasoning for your foods is to just open up the top and inhale. When you smell a particular seasoning you have to really think about your main ingredient pairing well with what spice you are smelling now! Their will be some you'll know right away and say..oohh no..that definitely would not pair well with this...and then their will be others you'll think...ooohh YES, that will definitely go great with this. You see it's important to let your palate be very open to the many depths of flavor your mouth can experience. There is so much amazing flavored foods out there that many have yet to even try, once! I can only urge you to start really experiencing the joy of amazing flavored foods can bring! Experiment every chance you get. Be Bold. Be Daring. ASK me questions if your not sure about something. I will help you :)

I will be publishing tips, recipes, fresh ideas and demo's periodically on my post! I hope you will join me in being the next creative foodie!

Remember...deeply smell the aroma of your spices and let your mind wonder on what they would pair with so wonderfully!

Thanks ya'll,
