about

My low point in food happened about three years ago while still at college in Indiana. I always liked eating, but I never put too much thought into what my food was actually made of or where it came from. One night as I was unwrapping some frozen Salisbury steaks from Kroger I noticed they had “grill” marks on them. Not even real grill marks. “This is bad. Really bad,” I thought.

Ever since then I started learning to cook for myself. My diet wasn’t vastly improved, but it was better. I read Michael Pollan’s book, In Defense of Food, and that really got me started on questioning what I eat and where it comes from.

I now truly believe in eating real food. I also believe food should be fun. So many family gatherings, holidays or life events are either based around food or food plays an integral part, so why not have a bit of fun with it?

Ever since I stopped eating processed junk and started focusing on real, healthy food I’ve felt so much better and have had so much more fun in the kitchen. That’s why I started this blog – to share some of the recipes I’ve come up with or recipes I’ve found that deserve to be passed on. Click here for a longer post about my philosophy on food.

I now live in London, England and am enjoying all the new food experiences Europe has to offer!

  6. Your blog is great! I also believe in whole fresh foods, well prepared, (and if I can cook them on a fire while camping without power, even better) 🙂

    I’ll be back to read some more – I love London, and you’re so fortunate to live there!! Your photos are amazing!!!

  8. You have a great blog with lovely photos. I really love your new culinary philosophy and I totally agree with you – freshly cooked meals are the only way. I started eating great when I met my wife as we both love to cook for each other. We also grow a lot of our own food and get a buzz from using our own homegrown ingredients. Do you grow any food to use in your meals?

    • I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to grow food to cook in my meals. Whenever I have food straight out of the garden I am just amazed by how much different it tastes to anything you get out of a grocery store. There are “fresh” ingredients from the store, but then there are FRESH, from the garden. Totally different. Someday I hope to, but for now I have to stick to a little basil plant on my window sill. And thanks for the compliment 🙂
