Introduction: Food is an expression of love!

     People always tell me after eating my food that I have to give them the recipe for this dish or that dish.  Well, for the most part, I really have no written recipes and amounts for most of my cooking, other than baking, which I'm not really crazy about.  Even when I am using someone else's recipe, I just read it and see what is in it, then recreate the dish the way I like to cook.  I cook more by sight, smell, and memory.....and the food always seams to come out the same.  I will now try however, to start writing down how much of what I use when I cook the dishes I will be putting on my blog, for my family to have as well as to share with others!!  I guess that is one of the main reasons why I have decided to start this blog!  These recipes are a mix of my own, my family's, as well as adaptations from other recipes I like to cook.  For me cooking is more than just feeding people, it is an expression of love and passion.  That is the way I learned it and remember it, and that is the way I want to pass it down to my children.  I want them to experience the same love of food and eating, it brings families and friends together and creates great memories that last a lifetime.
