Food. Period.

I love to cook. More importantly, I love to make food that people want to eat. Ask my friends… More often than not, they leave the table unbuttoning their pants – and not in a kinky way. I like to be inspired, too. My favorites are Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten and Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. Food that makes your mouth sing.

So, what kind of food is that? Something anyone can make with a 15 month old attached to his/her leg, Sesame Street songs stuck in her head (A rousing rendition of Elmo’s World anyone?), and a crazy dog who barks his fool head off whenever he even thinks he sniffs a cat, all the while pleasing the most discerning of palettes. In other words, good stuff.

And with the exceptions of my most infamous flops of vegetarian stuffed peppers and STAR pudding that I promise to share with you some day, it is usually good!

So tomorrow, I’ll try to post a recipe with pictures. Let me know what you think! I would love some constructive criticism. Not really but that’s what you’re supposed to say. I’d probably rather you just tell me how much you love whatever I cook. I am self deprecating enough, thank you very much.
