i cook when i'm bored

that doesn't mean i'm not busy. i have five very adorable kids. however, there are days when the older ones are at school and the younger ones are playing nicely- ie no major fighting- where i find i have some free time. so i cook. or bake. or a combination of both depending on the day. i turn on the music and sing and dance my way while i'm in the kitchen. it's my happy place. 

i love to cook. i am in no way a professional chef, although i would love to attend culinary school. however, i love to eat and my love of cooking originated with my love of eating. i want to eat scrumptious food, delicious food, healthy food, and i want my family to eat the freshest ingredients possible. i love trying new recipes, revisiting and tweaking old ones, learning new techniques and trying new flavors. as i tell my kids, cooking is the only activity that stimulates all of your five senses in the most delectable of ways.

and so my dear readers, enjoy the blog! i hope to whet your appetites and motivate you to enjoy your time in the kitchen! see you soon!

*quickside note- i don't use measurements unless i'm baking. i season according to taste, meaning i season each ingredient as it's added to the pan with whichever seasonings i'm using- salt, ground black pepper, usually garlic powder. i pinch the salt and pepper in with my fingers. i will include the seasonings when posting recipes and estimate the initial measurement. season away until the food tastes the way you like!

until next post- maggie
