Many of you already know I have three younger brothers. I use to always say "little" brothers, but if you haven't seen them lately they are anything but "little". They are tall good looking young men now. Two of them are at college down in Southern California. It's lots of fun looking at pictures of them having fun with all their friends. It seems like yesterday when that was Julie and me. My best friend Kait and I often talk about how much fun those times were. Do you remember having that care free fun? There's no fun like when you are young. "Fun" becomes something different the older I get. There are still lots of fun times, but it's definitely not the same from ten years ago. Here is a recent picture of my cute brothers!
When I first heard the term “foodie” I thought it definitely described me. Food and cooking are my passion! My favorite definition of the term is: “An aficionado of food and drink”. (A fan, devotee, & lover of food & wine.) I have a passion for learning, trying and tasting new things. When I cook I have two different ways. I love having no limits and cooking delicious meals that my family and friends will enjoy, but I also enjoy cooking healthy. Nutrition and exercise are a big part of my life, but I'm Italian and French so my love of food can't help but go beyond that. When I was a child I loved baking chocolate chip cookies with Dad and helping Mom cook week night dinners. On my blog I will post it all. Healthy meals, family meals, yummy baked goods and of course my parties!
But it goes beyond just food and drink. I have lots of favorites and enjoy sharing them with people so they too can have wonderful and unique experiences. Because I’m asked for recommendations I started this blog with “my picks” on social activities, dining, food, recipes, travel, etc…So I hope you get some helpful tips from here and enjoy my picks!
